To died is a classic end for games. The character has a "health-level" and this level can go to zero after some "problems".

A good option is to have the possibility to:

• buy a magic potion;
• use a medical device
• etc.

At our sample, the bullet is a movie-clip created using "motion tween". We have a general flag: health.

The program glued to the bullet is (remember: up, down, right and left are the movie-clips of the character):

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(_root.health<10){
  _root.nextFrame();
 }
 
 if(this.hittest(_root.up) ||
   this.hittest(_root.down) ||
   this.hittest(_root.right) ||
   this.hittest(_root.left)){ 

  _root.health =_root.health-20;
  _root.healthqtd.text=_root.health;
 }
}

We have another "shadow" under the medical help device.

The program glued to this shadow is:

onClipEvent(load){
 this._visible=false;
 used=0;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if (hitTest(_root.base._x, _root.base._y, true)
      && used == 0){
  used=1;
  _root.health = _root.health + 40;
  _root.healthqtd.text = _root.health;
 }
 
}

Play our sample. Click in the figure to activate.Use the arrow keys to walk. Try to use the medical device. To died is a good experience...
