I'll try to tell you how to make a health bar .. but not like the one in the site cuz i wasn't able to see it .. i got ( Not Allowed thing ) ..

okay about the health bar :
>> First make a new MC and draw a rectangle inside it but start your drawing from X= 0 or from this point + to what ever X number you want .. make it to X= 80.

>> Then take your new MC to the main timeline and give it an instance name .. name it (health).

>> use this code in your new MC (health) This code with hitTest action :

if(this.hitTest(_root.somthing)==true){
_root.health._xscale -= 10;// So if your Character hits the something MC , your MC health will decrease to 10;
}

>> And to stop the health from going after X= 0 .. try this code :

if(this._root.health._xscale <= 0){
_root.health._xscale = 0;
_root.gameover.gotoAndStop(2);//if you want to add gameover to your game .
}

****

That's it .. Good luck and hope it works.
