[CS3] Energy Bar

[funkycaveman]

i am trying to create an energy bar that regenerates back to 100% slowly over time and is used up slowly when a 'player' moves or jumps wiht the arrow keys, also if it gets to 0 its goes to frame , gotoandplay...
im using as2

any kind of help would be great or tuts or posts

thanks funky

You can place in the player movement something like:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += 5;
_root.health -= 0.25;
} else if (.... etc, etc, same with the other keys
} else {
_root.health += 0.5;
}
if (_root.health == 0) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(x);
}
Then you should make a movieClip that adjust it's _yscale or _xscale to the value of health, something like this._xscale = _root.health. Of course it's something very quick I'm doing just to give you an idea, but hope it helps.
