do it with _xscale….. this is a little different code but i think it will help you:
onClipEvent (load) {
var scale:Number = _xscale;
var speed:Number = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.hrac)) {
this.gotoAndStop(4);
} else {
if (rx>=50 && rx<350) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this._x -= speed;
_xscale = -scale;
}
if (rx< =-50 && rx>-350){
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this._x = speed;
_xscale = scale;
}
}
}

i can make my enemy move up to follow using this code
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
ty = this._y;
mx = _root.man._y;
ry = ty - mx;
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
_root.hp -= (random(5)+1);
}else{
if(ry >= 1 && ry<300){
this._y -= 1;
}
if(ry -300){
this._x += 1;
}
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
but i cant figure out how to reverse it so he moves down with the enemy

I tried the code you posted above but it gave me the error message saying that it’s waiting for a ) to end the “if(this._y > (_root.man._y 25))” part

great tutorial awesty! Really enjoyed it. but for those of you who were wondering how to get the enemy to chase you every were, here is a code that works.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
ty = this._y;
my = _root.man._y;
ry = ty - my;
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
if(ry >= 1 && ry-300){
this._y += 6;
}
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
tx = this._x;
mx = _root.man._x;
rx = tx - mx;
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
if(rx >= 1 && rx-300){
this._x += 6;
}
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

Greetings.
Oh and for the moving up and down, i’m afraid you’d be waisting time asking me lol…i’d have to dig up some pretty old archives just to find it, plus I see someone already covered it.
Well just wanted to come back and check on things. Like the site!!…lookin pretty damn good.

That’s all.

p.s.
Once again, Big Ups for all your tutorials…they’re deff a big help for me.
