Sorry forgot to post a link, here it is:

its a wild guess, but shouldn't the second gotoAndStop be gotoAndPlay?...

yup i think jpx111 is right

Perhaps you should try putting the frame that says you have lost on a different layer, and have it revealed by action script instead.

This will most likely solve the problem.

I've already tried that, it still doesn't work with gotoAndPlay.

ok well, try putting it on a different scene...this way, its foolproof

try _root.Retry; or put the code directly on the button.

OK, I'll try all of these, thanks.

Im making a game like this but the walls you can touch and a guy is chasing you. ther are also traps. I cant think up of a name though.

@Gfitz07:
Perhaps give the main player or the enemy a name, and then name the game after the player.

Or, you could have something unoriginal but easy to remember like "Maze Runner". :-P

Put a Trace on the code so you can check where the problem is

Retry.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
trace("yay&quot
}

I tried the trace thing and none of it worked, the button or the trace, I have absolutely no idea why it isn't working, from what I know of actionscript it should be working.

Here is the whole script:

stop();

Player_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
//Check If It Touches The Wall
if (Wall_mc.hitTest(Player_mc._x, Player_mc._y, true)) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
if (Finish_mc.hitTest(PLayer)) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

//Control Player With Keyboard
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= 5;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += 5;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 5;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 5;
}
}

//Restart Button
Retry_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
trace("hello"
}

Sorry about the triple post but could the problem be that when ever I click retry it takes me back to the maze but the player is still touching the wall so it just sends me back to the "you lose" page. If this is the case then I need the player to be reset to a certain set of coordinates when I click retry, how would I go about doing this.

Ah. There is the problem.

You need to reset the player to the beginning of the maze.

I'm not really good at AS2, but this should solve the problem.

onLoad {
Player_mc._x = 0 //Or wherever the player starts out.
Player_mc._y = 0 //Or wherever the player starts out.
}


Or, you could try this:
//Restart Button
Retry_btn.onRelease = function() {
Player_mc._x = 0 //Or wherever the player starts out.
Player_mc._y = 0 //Or wherever the player starts out.
gotoAndStop(1);
}
