Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if([b]this.[/b]hitTest(_root.bad))(
_root.healthBar._xscale = [b]_root.healthBar._xscale[/b] - 1[b];[/b]
)
}


Changes put in bold.

Try using a health variable, and syncing that to the bar, not changing the bar's value itself.

_root.healthBar._xscale = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;

HA HA HA, I FORGOT THAT YOU CAN'T PUT s*** IN BOLD FOR CODE TAGS.


Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if([b]this.[/b]hitTest(_root.bad))(
_root.healthBar._xscale = [b]_root.healthBar._xscale[/b] - 1[b];[/b]
)
}


Also, what I meant was using that code I posted to update the bar. As in, make a current and max health variable, then in the hittest thing just do this

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.bad))(
CurrentHealth = CurrentHealth - 1;
)
}

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   var CurrentHealth:Number=10;
   var MaxHealth:Number=10;
if(this.hitTest(_root.bad))(
_root.healthbar._xscale) = _root.healthbar._xscale - 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.bad))(
CurrentHealth = CurrentHealth) - 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(CurrentHealth > 0){
_root.healthBar._xscale) = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;
else{
_root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
}
if(CurrentHealth > 0){
_root.healthbar._xscale) = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;
}else{
_root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
}

ive tryed to stitch all the codes together but here are the problems
Code:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 59: Syntax error.
     _root.healthBar._xscale) = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 64: Syntax error.
     _root.healthbar._xscale) = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 65: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
     }else{

Total ActionScript Errors: 3     Reported Errors: 3

Isn't this supposed to have }'s instead of ('s and )'s to end an if statement... you failed to correct that and have seemed to adopt that method of doing it in every code amendment.

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
  if(hitTest(_root.bad)){
    _root.healthBar._xscale-=1
  }
}

That won't work. The variables need to be declared on the frame itself. Otherwise it'll just set them to 10 every frame.

That, and you stuck onClipEvent handlers inside of other onClipEvent handlers. I went into flash and debugged the thing myself.

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   var CurrentHealth:Number=10;
   var MaxHealth:Number=10;
   _root.healthbar._xscale = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;
   if(this.hitTest(_root.bad)){
      CurrentHealth = CurrentHealth - 10;
   }
   if(CurrentHealth > 0){
      _root.healthBar._xscale = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;
   }else{
      _root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
   }
   if(CurrentHealth > 0){
      _root.healthbar._xscale = CurrentHealth / MaxHealth * 100;
   }else{
      _root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
   }
}


Move the currenthealth and maxhealth variable to the frame itself and use this code.

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   _root.healthbar._xscale = _root.CurrentHealth / _root.MaxHealth * 100;
   if(this.hitTest(_root.bad)){
      _root.CurrentHealth = _root.CurrentHealth - 10;
   }
   if(_root.CurrentHealth > 0){
      _root.healthBar._xscale = _root.CurrentHealth / _root.MaxHealth * 100;
   }else{
      _root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
   }
   if(_root.CurrentHealth > 0){
      _root.healthbar._xscale = _root.CurrentHealth / _root.MaxHealth * 100;
   }else{
      _root.Character.gotoAndPlay("dead");
   }
}
