[MX] hittest

[kraxyk]

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
	this._x -=15;
	}
	
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
	this._x +=15;
	}
	if (_root.mainchar, hitTest(_root.scene1right)) {
		nextFrame();
	} else {
		
	}
}

i don't get why this doesn't work

p.s. i have the object mainchar on a different layer

[Baby Minion]

its the if statement for the hitTest

if (_root.mainchar.hitTest(_root.scene1right)){
nextFrame();
}

[kraxyk]

i now have this

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
	this._x -=15;
	}
	
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
	this._x +=15;
	}
	if (_root.mainchar.hitTest(_root.scene1right)){
	nextFrame();
	}
}

[Baby Minion]

does it still not work?

[kraxyk]

still doesn't

I would do some testing to make sure you are referencing everything properly.
Make sure all the traces, trace what you expect.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -=15;
}

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x +=15;
}

trace(_root.mainchar)
trace(_root.scene1right)
trace(_root.mainchar.hitTest(_root.scene1right));

if (_root.mainchar.hitTest(_root.scene1right)){
nextFrame();
}
}

Also, what object is supposed to go to the nextFrame()?
The object that has the clipEvent, or something else? Also, use the debugger to make sure everything goes correctly.

well I just want the timeline to move to the next frame. But its not on the same layer as the mainchar

[kraxyk]

nope, didn't work. It gave me like a million undefined errors

[kraxyk]

do you want me to post my fla?

[kraxyk]

Here's the deal.

You forgot to give your MovieClips an instance name.

Give your mainchar and scene1right instance names.
Also, you can change the hitTest to - this.hitTest(_root.scene1right);
same thing as before..

The last thing, your next frame call when the hitTest it true, needs to say _root.nextFrame();
before you were referencing the timeline of the mainchar, which only had one frame.

Good luck
