ActionScripting Error HELP!!!

[tongxn]

A problem from a RPG game I'm designing -

Ok so if I have a MC called guy and a MC called shop, I can use Keyboard to navigate guy and this is what I am trying to do #

If guy is hit-testing shop, I want a dynamic Txtbox to say: - Press Space to Acess Shop - Better get your wallet first! -
And If I press SPACE while guy is hit-testing shop, I want to gotoAndStop to another location.

This is the AS i dreamed up:

onClipEvent (load) { if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) { description = "Shop Keeper, Its best if you have some money on you though"; if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) { _parent.gotoAndStop("eleswhere",1); } } }

So could anyone tell me what's wrong and how do i fix it?

Ok, firstly you need to have it on an

onClipEvent(enterFrame)

handler, the load handler only runs once when the movie runs.
Secondly, you need to use

Key.isDown(KEY.SPACE) //-- Capital 'KEY'


Hope that helps, i dont think there is anything else wrong with it..

Er it is on the onClipEvent handler.
the code thing didnt work out proper.
.. I'll try it maybe your right.

no, its on the onClipEvent !!**LOAD**!! // NOT the same as enterFrame.

Load will activate the script once, enterFrame will activate the code every frame.


so you should have

onClipEvent(enterFrame){...}

not

onClipEvent(load){...}
