maze walls

[askentoyou]

iam tryin to make a maze game. my codes all right ( NOT REALY!!) but the
walls arnt good a hittest they just arnt . I tryed combineing two codes... total disaster!!
help on better maze with better colision plaese... thanks

// combined sucky code
onClipEvent(load){
 speed = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
 speed = 7;
}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
 speed =- 7;
 }
 
 else gotoAndStop(1);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (Math.abs(speed)>0) {
 speed *= .7;
 }

 if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
 _x -= 7;
 }
 if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
 _x += 7;
 }

 speed *= .98;
 x = Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/20))*speed;
 y = Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/20))*speed*-1;
 if (!_root.maze.hitTest(_x+x, _y+y, true)) {
 _x += x;
 _y += y;
 } else {
 speed *= -.6;
 }
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x+(_width/2),_y,true)){
        this._x -= 7;
    }
    if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x-(_width/2),_y,true)){
        this._x += 7;
    }
}

I didn't quite get what's going on in the code. Though here's a fla that was in the Flash MX samples that has that maze game. Hope it helps.

thats to dificult is there somthing lil more easier??

[realMakc]

the only difficult part is to find the code there

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.started && _root._currentframe==1) {
		with (_root.square) {
			//
			// keyboard controls
			if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
				_y += 1;
			}
			if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
				_y -= 1;
			}
			if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
				_x -= 1;
			}
			if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
				_x += 1;
			}
			//
			// detect if edges of the player square are colliding with the maze walls
			if (walls.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
				_x -= 1;
			}
			if (walls.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
				_x += 1;
			}
			if (walls.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, true)) {
				_y -= 1;
			}
			if (walls.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMin, true)) {
				_y += 1;
			}
			//
			// detect if maze is finished
			if (_root.goal.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, true)) {
				_root.gotoandstop(3);
			}
		}
	}
}

Thanks for posting it Well it's not too difficult. getBounds is used to get the limits of the mc. It gives you the values xMin, xMax, yMin and yMax. So you check the hitTest like you were doing it but with those values. You can also keep it your way replacing the getBounds with _x + _width/2 for example. That works too.
