Collision Detection

[kerepuki]

Hi everyone!

I am wanting a simple script that will take 3 squares on the stage. They will be positioned to form an L type shape. Each square can scale in size both width and height.

Now if the squares touch each other as they increase in size, the square that is being touched (not the one scaling up) decreases in size which ever way the touching square is going.

So if square a is increasing in width from the left to the right and square b is on the right of square a, square b decreases in size going from left to right.

Hope that makes sense. Any help would be great.

Something like

for (var i:int = 0; i < some_array.size; i  = i + 1)
	{
		some_array(i).scale_me(up_input);
		for (var j:int = 0; j < some_array.size; j  = j + 1)
		{
			if (i =/ j)
			{
				if (some_array(i).hitTestObject(some_array[j]);)
				{
					some_array(j).scale_me(down_input)
				}
			}
		}
	}

Been awhile since I did this so that might be fairly brain dead.
