Hello! Im trying to make my enemies to have hitpoints.All of my enemies have the same instance name "enemy".So, when i fire and hit an enemy hitpoints from 4 -- to 3,and here is the problem,when i fire a new enemy the hitpoints it continue from 3.

[savvasa23596134]

var shotA:Array=[];

var enemy1Array:Array = new Array();

for (var e1:int = numChildren - 1; e1 >= 0; e1--)

  {

         var child:DisplayObject = getChildAt(e1);

         if (child.name == "enemy")

     {

       enemy1Array.push(child);

         }

        }

  for each(var enemy:MovieClip in enemy1Array)

  {

    var hitpoints:int = 4;

       trace (hitpoints);

  }

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,looping);

function looping (event:Event):void

{

    for(var i:int=shotA.length-1;i>=0;i--)

    {

      shotA.x +=10;

   for each(enemy in enemy1Array)

   {

      if (shotA.hitTestObject(enemy))

     {

  hitpoints --;

     trace ("ok");

  trace (hitpoints);

     shotA.y = 1000;

     shotA.visible = false;

  if (hitpoints == 0)

  {

  enemy.y = -1000;

  }

     }

   }

      if(shotA.x>stage.stageWidth)

        {

            shotA.splice(i,1);

        }

    }

}

fire_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fire);

function fire(MouseEvent:Event):void

{

  for each(enemy in enemy1Array)

  {

  trace (hitpoints);

  }

  var shot:bullet = new bullet();

  shotA.push(shot);

  this.addChild(shot);

  shot.x = player.x;

  shot.y = player.y;

}

that's problematic coding.

to start, each object should have a unique instance name.  you could use enemy1, enemy2 etc

var shotA:Array=[];

var enemy1Array:Array = new Array();

// if your enemies are all on stage and not created by code this for-loop is not good but it's ok.  otherwise, it's not and enemies should be added to the array when they're created.

for (var e1:int = numChildren - 1; e1 >= 0; e1--)

  {

         var child:DisplayObject = getChildAt(e1);

         if (child.name.indexOf("enemy")>-1)

     {

       enemy1Array.push(MovieClip(child));

MovieClip(child).hitPoints=4;

         }

        }

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,looping);

function looping (event:Event):void{

    for(var i:int=shotA.length-1;i>=0;i--)  {

      shotA.x +=10;

   for(var j:int=enemy1Array.length-1;j>=0;j--) {

      if (shotA.hitTestObject(enemy1Array)) {

shotA.splice(i,1);

enemy1Array.hitPoints--;

  if (enemy1Array.hitPoints == 0) {

enemy1Array.splice(j,1);

  }

     }

   }

      if(shotA.x>stage.stageWidth)  {

            shotA.splice(i,1);

        }

}

}

fire_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fire);

function fire(MouseEvent:Event):void

{

  var shot:bullet = new bullet();

  shotA.push(shot);

  this.addChild(shot);

  shot.x = player.x;

  shot.y = player.y;

}

I try something else to put hitpoints in my enemies.

I put movie clips inside the enemy movieclip .

it works but i thing its better to set hitpoints with your way!

for each(var enemy1:MovieClip in enemy1Array)

  {

  if(enemy1.enemy1a.hitTestPoint(bombA.x,bombA.y))

  {

  bombA.y =-1000;

  enemy1.enemy1a.y = 1000;

  }

  if(enemy1.enemy1b.hitTestPoint(bombA.x,bombA.y))

  {

  bombA.y =-1000;

  enemy1.enemy1b.y = 1000;

  }

  if(enemy1.enemy1c.hitTestPoint(bombA.x,bombA.y))

  {

  bombA.y =-1000;

  enemy1.enemy1c.y = 1000;

  }

  if(enemy1.enemy1d.hitTestPoint(bombA.x,bombA.y))

  {

  bombA.y =-1000;

  enemy1.enemy1d.y = 1000;

  score += 10;

  score_txt.text = String (score);

  }

tick 'permit debugging' and use the trace function to debug your code.

and use:

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,looping);

function looping (event:Event):void{

    for(var i:int=shotA.length-1;i>=0;i--)  {

      shotA.x +=10;

   for(var j:int=enemy1Array.length-1;j>=0;j--) {

      if (shotA.hitTestObject(enemy1Array)) {

shotA.parent.removeChild(shotA);

shotA.splice(i,1);

enemy1Array.hitPoints--;

  if (enemy1Array.hitPoints == 0) {

enemy1Array.parent.removeChild(enemy1Array);

enemy1Array.splice(j,1);

  }

     }

   }

      if(shotA.x>stage.stageWidth)  {

shotA.parent.removeChild(shotA);

            shotA.splice(i,1);

        }

}

}

I remove the

shotA.parent.removeChild(shotA); shotA.splice(i,1); when the shot hit the enemy and i replace with shotA . y = 1000 and it works.

Hitpoints its ok now.

You are a genius!!

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,looping);

function looping (event:Event):void{

    for(var i:int=shotA.length-1;i>=0;i--)  {

      shotA.x +=10;

   for(var j:int=enemy1Array.length-1;j>=0;j--) {

      if (shotA.hitTestObject(enemy1Array)) {

//shotA.parent.removeChild(shotA);

//shotA.splice(i,1);

shotA.y = 1000;

enemy1Array.hitPoints--;

  if (enemy1Array.hitPoints == 0) {

enemy1Array.parent.removeChild(enemy1Array);

enemy1Array.splice(j,1);

  }

     }

   }

      if(shotA.x>stage.stageWidth)  {

shotA.parent.removeChild(shotA);

            shotA.splice(i,1);

        }

}

}
