Thanks a million PRadvan.. looks and works beautifully..

I had to take off all the _root.wall.hitTest code under your modifications because they were giving me some errors. I will have to try and figure out that invisible wall part next so he doesn't keep walking off the screen constantly!

If anyone has any ideas let me know.. either way If I get it working completely I will post the new file and hopefully others can get some use out of it as well. Thanks again!
