Yes, I took it down a while ago because it was actually flawed. Variables weren't changing within the symbol; I haven't had a chance to look at it again. I decided to take it down because it could confuse some people. Sorry for any inconvenience, I've been busy lately.

I haven't had time to really mess around with it lately. If you look for how to do it yourself, you'll probably have to put lots of little things together. You're probably going to want to look at some hide/unhide functions with symbols and also try to figure out linking dynamic text and variables across barriers (such as the main timeline and the timeline of the movie clip). It's kind of confusing, so that's why I've been thinking of re doing it. Good luck with your menu endeavors.

if you do happen to have the time to get back into it and start making tutorials again that would be awesome but I fully understand that you have a life and I hope that everything is going well for you and continues to go well but I'm going to continue to look into it iv found a couple tutorials dealing with a lot of components on it but I haven't figured out how to make it work yet but I'm optimistic lol but I appreciate all the help honestly you have been so much help to me you don't even know!

1. the exp 100 thing

You would actually put this on the "date" button or whatever you want to click to go on the date. 
It would be a simple

on(release){   \\when I click this button

if((exp >=100) && (hp >= 10)){     \\If my exp with this guy is greater than or equal to 100 AND I have at least 10 or more hp
root.gotoAndPlay("sureletsdate");     \\show this frame
exp += 10;     \\and add 10 exp (because you get exp when you date ppl
hp -= 10;      \\and subtract 10 hp (because dating takes energy)
}else if(exp<100){   \\but, if exp is less than 100
this.enabled = fase;     \\this button is not clickable
}
}

---^^ this would go on the date button or whatever you want to click. If you want to make it so there are different dates depending on how "deep" you  are in the relationship,  send me a note. If you want any date specs just send me a note. I might even feel like making a tutorial on it; I haven't looked at flash in ages. 

2. stop at 50 days

Yeah, you would do a simple thing on the sleep button. If you have a normal sleep button, it says something like:

on(release){
day += 1;
hp += 50;
}

or something. There are fancy ways of making it so you can't go crazy on the sleep button and jack up 50098309123098470 hp, or so you can have the date show up, or something of the sorts. But this is what you should have basically. Every time you sleep, you add a day and restore energy somehow or another. 

To make the game stop on day 50 or something, you use an if function on your sleep button.

on(release){   \\when I click this button

if(day < 50){  \\if it is less than day 50
day += 1;      \\ add one day
hp += 50;     \\ and add 50 hp
}else if(day == 50){   \\BUT if it IS day 50 
_root.gotoAndPlay("lastday");  \\go play this frame (like the one where you ask the player to go pick out a guy or something)
}
}

------------
and that's it. Any more complicated questions, go ahead and send me a note. Or just keep posting on my profile. It's whatever. Hope it helped

I know for a fact that the program I use, Macromedia Flash Professional 8 has some special effects built into the program that I can use. It has a fade, flash, etc thing I can add to frames. I don't know what version of flash you have, but I suggest doing a simple google search of "Flash (insert your version) special effects". It'll help a ton. You could also play around with movie clips, and use the alpha on the color wheel side to gradually reduce the visibility of the picture.

If the error message is saying that mouse events are only permitted for button instances, then you should double check to see if this code is even on a button.

I'm sorry this is so late, I hardly ever look at my profile. 

What I can see is perhaps a missing stop function if your screen is jumping to other frames by itself?

Or if it's just the character that is appearing twice in the game, then you probably have an overlapping issue with like your character frames. 

First things first, make sure you haven't accidentally pasted a duplicate character into the park scene.
Then make sure that your character is only on that one frame layer. For example: say you had a character who was accidentally in the background frame that's continuous. In that case, you'd have the character showing up in the background.

If I were you, I would click the colorful little box next to the little lock symbol on the layers pane. It will make everything a different color outline, this way, you can see which layer your character is. Once you locate which layer(s) your character takes up, then you can cut/paste/whatever and put it on the right layer. I recommend once you finish drawing a character, getting rid of the layers (ex: hair, face, skin, clothing--if you drew it in flash) and condensing the whole character to a graphic image by right clicking on it after selecting it. This just makes it all easier when moving/keeping it together.

I currently do not have a tutorial on creating a Character Selection menu. 

When you say you want to have the player choose to a boy or girl, do you mean the point of view? 

When you say to have two different genders in one story, what do you mean? Like at the beginning have an option to play as a female or a male? Because if it were that instance, what you would ultimately end up with is two games under one title. There might be a way in which you can do the slight change things by using the if-then-else function, but I have not personally looked into that. I am sure that there is a way to do so. Remember, doing this, unless you want both of the genders to interact with the same exact charcters, you would also have to insert new drawings.

If you were to do the one-version game with two point of views, you could probably do an if function. 
For example, if this was the button to play as a guy (its not 100% perfect, but it's the main idea of what you should be saying in flash)

on(release){
player = male;
}

And from then on, you wouldn't use static text to do the dialogue, you would use dynamic text, so that you can be like (someone linked a nice tutorial to how to do this on one of my tutorials... I believe it is the naming one);

displaytext."blablabal i'm a guy"

And on that dialogue, you would have a code at the top saying (the format is all wrong, look at the tutorial linked to my naming tutorial):

if(player = male){
display.text "Hi I am bob";
}else if(player = female){
display.text "Hi I am a female";
}


 To deviate to certain like cutscenes, you could always have a button that says
if the player is a guy, then play the next frame. But if it is a girl, skip the scene. ETC, just play around with the if else function.
