I'm not sure what you need, but take a look in this tips:

1) How can I change the appearance of my actors?

Change the animation of the actor (even if you have a single image)

2) How can I make my actor live?

The behavior of an actor is made by using events and actions.
For example, when the user hit a key (event), move the actor 3 steps right (action)

3) How can I change a property of an actor?

All actors have pre built properties like position (x, y), transparency (transp)... The properties (or variables) can be changed by using a Script Editor action:



So, if you need move the actor to the right, just put something like:

x = x + 3;

4) How can I create a new variable?

In the Script Editor, you can use the Variables button:



And click on the Add button:



To track the actor's live, for example, create your variable live, integer and not global (choose the type Actor). So, each actor will have your own life count.
