setting a minimum value for dynamic text

[Solar42693]

could anyone please tell me how you would do this? it's for a game and i'm trying to make it where you buy stuff, and my gold just goes in the negatives. i tried a goldneeded>=goldrequired but it's not working. could someone plz help, thanks. also for dynamic text is it possible to do like... oh say a

Code: Select all

if health <= 0
_root....

ok you get the point, but is it possible to have a movieclip go to a different frame when health is less than or equal to 0. because i couldn't get that to work either. thanks again

Hmm well as I don't know the variable for the dynamic text field I'll have to assume a load of stuff but just post back and I'll be happy to straighten things out if you have any problems with the code.

Code: Select all

//The health code
if(health <= 0) {
   health == 0;
   _root.healthpic_mc.gotoAndStop(0);
   //assuming the health empty picture is on frame 0 of it's movieclip
}

Code: Select all

//The money code
if(goldamount - goldneeded <= 0) {
   textbox_var = "not enough gold";
} else {
   buyitem(itemname); /*I assume you've written a buy item function that has an argument that is set, so the correct item is added to your inventory*/
}
