HitTest Problem

[helpplease]

can someone please show me how to make a understandable hit test involving five cars...
and post the FLA doc here so i can have a look, the tutorials in FLASHKIT are not wat i want.

i want it so the cars cant hit each other and if they do they bounce back...

Well, this shouldn't be in the newbies sections, it would invovle a lot of actionscripting

Wouldn't take that much AS, you could make a simplified versino using squares or cirlces with simple hit tests.

If you don't want to do it Joe, then I will give it a go instead.

K I wanna see how many lines of code you can limit it to, then I might give it a stab if I think I can beat it(probably not)

I got an example done. Its a rough as they come but it does the job. There wasn't alot of coding for the hitTest part, but I put in some boundry stuff aswell which racked up the amount of lines. I'm gonna try and smoothen it out a little, until then though, heres what I came up with.

Several different coloured balls are floating inside a box which acts as a boundry. They all float off in their own directions. If one of the balls hits another, they reverse direction.

I`m going to see if I can make the reversal a little smoother though.

See what you can do to decrease the number of code lines of you want.

Hope this helps whoever.

actually i have come accross another problem.........

thanks for all your help.....

THIS tutorial should be what your looking for, or at least set you in the right direction.

If you get stuck let us know.

and how do i encorperate the hit test into these characters

The code for the hitTest is place in the actions panel of the clip you wish to animate.
