Make a thing I created with a motion tween die after being shot

[Govindas Roth]

i want help to find out how to make a thing i created with a motion tween die ater being shot and i need to know how to make it die when being clicked by the mouse and then fall down and not come back

[kglad · Accepted solution]

do you have animations for it dying etc?

[Govindas Roth]

no , not yet

[kglad]

one way to do that would be to create a dying animation on your movieclip's timeline and label the first frame of that sequence (eg, dying).  you would then use a gotoAndPlay('dying') to display that sequence.

thanks and then after that what do i do

[kglad]

what is it you want to do? remove the movieclip from the display?

if so, use removeChild().

how do i make it die when i press itafter making the dying animation

[kglad]

use a mouse listener.  for example,

yourthing.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,yourthing_pressF);

function yourthing_pressF(e:MouseEvent):void{

yourthing.gotoAndPlay('die');  // assuming that's the correct frame name.

}
