Collision Detection

[Tade]

Hey there.

I'm trying to make a simple maze game where I control the object that needs to be moved inside the maze. The movement part is simple enough, however, I want to make a collision detection thingy that will make the player lose if he runs into one of the walls in the maze.
I've looked up a bunch of collision detection videos and tutorials, but for the most part it only explains how to make flash *state* that there's a collision, such as in here:
http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ion/Page1.html
rather then letting me actually do something.

Basiclly, something like this:

When the player hits one of the yellow things, the game resets.

I'd appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.

id do it with hitTests.
try something like

objecttohit.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (controllableMC.hitTest(objecttohit)) {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}
}

for this when you hit the maze edge you will go to the second frame where you would write "you lose" or something...OR instead of having a simple gotoAndPlay job you could reset the position of the controlable movie clip to the start, depending where you put the character just add

controllableMC._x = 100
controllableMC._y = 100

controllableMC is the instance name of the character you are moving
objecttohit is the instance name of the maze you are hitting.

Thank you for the reply, but I suppose I just didnt explain myself properly.
I need the code for Actionscript 3.0
the Code you presented appears to work with 2.0 indeed, but I need 3.0 support.
Any ideas?
Again, thanks in advance.

Try incorporating the hitTestObject method,

if(mc.hitTestObject(other_mc)) {
    // actions
}
