(AS) level 1 complete

if (_root.finish.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
xspeed = 0;
yspeed = 0;
_y -= power;
_root.gotoAndStop("level select");
level_02_complete = true;
}

if (level_02_complete=true and _root.level2.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
xspeed = 0;
yspeed = 0;
_y -= power;
_root.gotoAndStop("level2");
} else {
_root.lvl_stats.gotoAndPlay("locked");
