[MX04]Problems getting a clip to recognise & respond to which clip it is over

[pup100]

What I’m trying to do is get the ball clip to detect which clip it is over & modify it’s behaviour dependant upon that.

I’m using a variable “num” for each clip to designate an individual “id” number & a “for in” loop within an onEnterFrame event to test for a hitTest.

The way I’m testing for a change in clip is:

“if (numHit != _root.hold_mc[i].num)”

This is the code as it now stands:

code:

---

 _root.hold_mc.trackOne_mc.num = 1;

_root.hold_mc.trackTwo_mc.num = 2;

done = 0;

_root.ball_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {

	this._x += 2;

	for (i in _root.hold_mc) {

		if (_root.ball_mc.hitTest(_root.hold_mc[i]) && done == 0) {

			numHit = _root.hold_mc[i].num;

			trace(numHit);

			done = 1;

		}

		if (numHit != _root.hold_mc[i].num) {

			trace("diff");

			_root.ball_mc.onEnterFrame = null;

			_root.ball_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {

				_root.ball_mc._x -= 2;

			};

		}

	}

}; 

---

The weird thing is (apart from the fact it does’nt work!) that the “trace” command, contained within the “if (numHit != _root.hold_mc[i].num)” condition fires at the start of the movie?


fla attached.
