I've been working on this game for a while now, and I've gotten most things to work. I have the health bar working, the game over screen working, and have it so it's fairly easy to move in the levels, but I'm having some trouble with my enemies and attacking them.

I was wondering if anyone could help me fix a few issues. That's not the entire game (that would be horribly boring), but some of my script I've been testing, so far, some issues have come up.
First Issue:My character won't follow through on his attack move. I know it only recognizes when the Space bar is down, but I want to find a way so the animation finishes, even if the button is not being pressed.

//Main Character's Movement
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.Health<=0){
_root.gotoAndPlay("GameOver"}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this.gotoAndStop("Run Right"
this._xscale =100;
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this.gotoAndStop("Run Right"
this._xscale =-100;
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
this.gotoAndStop("Attack 1"
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
this.gotoAndStop("Duck"
}else{
this.gotoAndStop("Idle 1"}
}

[quote="Script on Attack Move"]
//Main Character's Code on Attack Movement
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_root.Skyder.hitTest(_root.Npc1)){
_root.Npc1.gotoAndPlay("Npc1 Die"}[/quote]
That's what I've got for now, and it seems to work fairly well. The Attack move is what kills my npc, I just wish the animation would follow through.
Second Issue:My enemy just sits there....I don't know any script for programming him to run up to my character when he's a determined pixels apart. I've heard of "A*" script, but don't understand it at all, or know how to use it.
[quote="Npc Movement (Keeps him with the background)"]
//Npc1's Movement
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x-=15
_xscale =60;
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x+=15
_xscale =60;}
}[/quote]
[quote="The Enemy's Attack"]
//Npc1's Attack Movement
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_root.Skyder.hitTest(_root.Npc1)){
_root.Health -=1;}
}[/quote]
That's about where all my problems lie. All my other script is working just dandy. If anyone has any suggestions, or some advice, I'd be thrilled to hear it. I've been stuck on these problems for a while now.

I hope this isn't considered bumping, but I've worked on the game a bit more, and solved a few issues. I still have the issue where I cannot get my npcs to chase the main character though.

I've got basically everything to work besides the npcs' chase mode.
One npc I have though seems to be causing a few issues. The C-16 fires projectiles, but my programming isn't working.
At first I tried this:
I wrote it on the charater, which was dubbed Npc2, and the projectile in one of his actions Bullet. Unfortunately, it's not working.
Then I tried by writing it on the projectile, which also didn't work.
Any suggestions? I've tried Kirupa.com and there's not much there that seemed to help.
