i just need to know how to make it to where my character touches a certain object and the character dies in an animation like the game please give me answers thank you.

Here's what to do:
You need to create a movieclip for the "walls", next to that create another movieclip for the "touch-and-die" pieces.
on those pieces you add this code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.character.hitTest(this)){
_root.character.GotoAndPlay("dead");
}
}

now in the characters movieclip you add a frame and call it "dead", from there you start animating the death.
don't forget to add the "stop" function.

good luck!

heres what i am doing i made an enemy named it wall then i added a point and made it a movieclip named death point and i copy pasted your code to its actions then on my characters movie clip i opened it and made a new frame named dead and 5 frames for the death animation and added stop(); at the first frame of death sequence and the end of the death sequence but in game i touch it nothing happens please tell me step by step on what i should do thank you

[Rochella]

make sure that the first frame of the death sequence is unreachable(unless the spikes you touch refer you to it)
simply said: make the first frame on the char movieclip have stop(); and name the second frame "death" (don't give it a stop action).

[Areslee]

sorry,my English is not good.I don't understand what you mean.
this is my code on scene1 frame1:

mc1_state = "normal";
function onEnterFrame() {

if (_root.mc2.hitTest(_root.mc1)) {
mc1_state = "die";
} else {
_root.mc2._x += 2;
}

if (mc1_state == "normal") {
_root.mc1.gotoAndStop(1);
} else if (mc1_state == "die") {
_root.mc1.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
