Replace removeMovieClip() with unloadMovie()

removeMovieClip only works with clips generated with code.

Still does not work, I don't think you get it.

It doesn't even trace "You win", which means something with the code itself is wrong.

I've checked the code and it works fine for me.

What flash version are you using, and what method are you using to move your char clip?

I'm using Flash cs6 action script 2, exporting to Flash Player 10.3

To move my char clip I am just doing "_x += speed" etc.

insert this into your enterFrame code:

trace(char);

Tell me what is returned.

Nothing returns.

I also tried tracing "Hello world" inside the onEnterFrame. It doesn't trace, so the problem is the enterFrame.

Make sure you're looking at the output panel, not the compiler errors panel

mhm I've been looking at the output panel

Have you tried a trace function outside of the enterFrame function?

I have a trace above the onEnterFrame thing, it traces it. It also traces if I put it after the onEnterFrame is over.

I have no clue what this had to do with everything, but I removed another enterFrame in a different frame and all works great! Thank you everyone, you were very helpful!

A single clip can only have one onEnterFrame function.

See, what you are doing when you say onEnterFrame = function() { is specifying a function called onEnterFrame, which is reserved by flash and called each frame.

Say you had two functions called gameLoop() and gameOverLoop(), and you did the following:

onEnterFrame = gameLoop;
onEnterFrame = gameOverLoop;

Flash replaces the original onEnterFrame (gameLoop), with the new one (gameOverLoop).

It's the same as any variable or method, when you specify a new one, it overwrites the old one. A very good thing to know for the future.

Keep at it. You'll learn the common mistakes and how to avoid them.
