hm… nice fla… what’s supposed to happen? whats not working? :-\

its a simple game , when the person gets to the key the person will drag it and when the key hits the door it’s supposed to go to the (“the”) frame

4

Just paste this code on your Key movi clip[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this, hitTest(_root.door)) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
[/AS]

I have a question about the hitTest syntax: I know [AS]_root.movieclip.hitTest(_root.whatever);[/AS] is correct, but what about the comma ? [AS]if (this, hitTest(_root.door);[/AS] will that work too ? I mean, I know about the dot, but I’m not sure about the comma …

I looked it up in the actionscript dictionary and it didn’t say anything about a comma …
