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;
}

_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
