ok... whats wrong with this code snipit????

[tartarsause]

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.maze2.hittest(blast._x,blast._y, true) ==true) {
with (_root.blast) {
gotoAndPlay ("boom");
}
}
}

..if the MC blast hittests with maze2 then within the root of blast.. goto and play frame label boom... what is wrong?

the code works when its in the main time line.. however I would like to have it in a MC or button object for keeping track of it easyer.

I think _root.maze2 is what's wrong because as far as I know _root reffers to the root of the current (not necessarily main) timeline. Did you try with _level0.maze2?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.maze2.hittest(_root.blast._x,_root.blast._y , true)) {
with (_root.blast) {
gotoAndPlay ("boom");
}
}
}

This looks like it should work...

i notice when I'm typing in hitTest in the action window it doesn't turn blue unless you have it in that case.. you have the 2nd t lowercase... dunno if that matters, but that's what I notice first
