[RESOLVED] [HELP!] Remove MC when hittest

[funkycaveman]

how do you delete completely or remove an MC called 'shot' when it hits a wall called 'wall' i have tried some hitest stuff but it doesn't seem to quite work, thanks

funky...

use removeMovieClip to delete the shot.

[renderhjs]

if(shot.hitTest(wall)){ 
     shot.removeMovieClip();
 } 

here is the entry in the Flash5 manual:

thanks but do i add this to wall or shot MC or just in the frame?

[renderhjs]

try to rather not put code on MovieClips,- its a unhealthy practice. Makes your code clumpy, bloated and scattered in a ugly way.

anyway put it in whatever event code,- if you have a button,- on the stage liket his

someButton.onRelease = function(){
    if(shot.hitTest(wall)){ 
        shot.removeMovieClip(); 
    }
} 

if you have a frame based loop perhaps like this:

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(shot.hitTest(wall)){ 
        shot.removeMovieClip(); 
    }
} 

[Never_land:(]

Try
removeMovieClip(shot)
if it doesn't work

yea, thanks i found unload movie clip worked in the end the others didnt for some reason it must not be in the right context of code, eg if you load movie clip u must unload...
