Overlapping Functionality

I want to do a type of collide, but without it being a wall.
When my actor enters certain areas of the screen, I want it to be affected in different ways, sometimes slow down, sometime just die... So I want invisible areas that the actor can walk all over.
How can I do this please?
Sorry if this is a NEWB question, I WOULD normally search the forums for similar questions, but er.. wheres the search button?
Cheers in advance
