Game tutorial not working

[congruent2006]

This is a game tutorial I tried to follow, you can see the tutorial here

http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tut...t-System/21036
its an RPG combat tutorial

I dont have any error messages, but it simply stays on the same screen
flashing enemy turn.
I retraced my steps twice, and I cannot find where I went wrong in the tutorial.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable can look at it and instantly know what I did wrong? ;D

heres the Fla.

should I post somewhere else? or maybe be more specific?

I think the problem might be where i put scripts on the actions MC or buttons

[renderhjs]

more specific is always better
wich code do you wonder to put where?

[congruent2006]

I was wondering if

1: I am supposed to or not put everything on the main scene
2: if I put the scripts in the right places on the actions MC
3: If maybe there is something common knowledge that wasnt in the tutorial? say i need to put a stop() somewhere.

[renderhjs]

when you see

onClipEvent(load){...

or

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

you have old fashioned Flash5 code style wich always is stored on movieClips and usually operates on that particular movieClip. But ever since Flash MX it´s bad practice to put code on MovieClips because it´s anything but not organized- and hell ugly.

when you see this:

on(release){..

it means that it should put on a button or movieCLip (movieClip can act as a button as well- but better take a button).
after that some parts of the tutorial expect code to be stored on frames within certain movieClips.
From what it looks to me (tutorial) it is either already pretty old (Flash 5 days) or done by someone not long ago with a bad coding style.

rofl
ok I did the tutorial over again, and sort of got it to work, I am not sure what i did differently ^ ^
it works fine but when you, and the enemy get down to 0 HP life nothing happens
you can still continue to attack the enemy, and just sit there hacking away at each other ROFMLFAO
I do not think that is what was supposed to happen, but maybe I will figure that out eventually too.
