[help] health bar code

what is a simple code for a health bar... im not animating it i just want health to be 100 or what eva i choose...

i think i will be right coding the enimies to take away health as i have seen lots of other people post some good stuff about it

thank u

Make a simple MovieClip Health Bar object.
then you can use:

at startup:
_root.starthealth = 127;
_root.health = _root.starthealth;

makedamage = function(damage){
_root.health -= damage;
_root.healthbar._xscale = (_root.health/_root.starthealth)*100;
}

thanx and aslo how do i make it say the number of health thats left???

:)

_root.healthleft=_root.starthealth-_root.health

Are "damage" and "start" actual functions in Flash or is that code supposed to be edited to suit the instance? Also, how would one make enemies take health off?

enemies take health off with hitTest
