[mx]Problems with motion not reversing in Breakout game

Hi,

i have coded a very simple version of "Breakout" HERE
The whole thing works great bar one small problem.

I can't understand why the ball does not reverse it's _x/_y movement when it rebounds into a brick from another brick - Hit a brick from the bat - no problem, but get behind a brick & then hit that & the ball merrily carries on in it's original path.

fla attached.

Code:

---

for (i in thisOne) {
        if (thisOne[i].hitTest(_root["ball" + h])) {
                my_sound.start();
                var dir = (_root.xMover < 0) ? 1 : -1;
                _root.xMover = thisOne[i].xMove * dir;
                points = points + (thisOne[i].how);
                thisOne[i].removeMovieClip();
                break;
        }
}

Many thanks yet again dawsonk.

Seems so easy when the logic has been pointed out to you!

A reply over & above the call of duty having to read through & help out on all that spaghetti code! - Cheers again mate.
