I’m trying to make a maze game, and my problem is that i can’t make the ball stop where I want it to. The walls are thin, and if the ball has a high speed it just goes through them. I want the hitTest to detect if any part of the ball touches the wall, not just the center point. This is the code for the ball:

> }onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
> if (\_root.vertical.hitTest(\_x, \_y, true)){  
> xspeed \*= -0.2;  
> \_x = posx;

}  
if (\_root.horizontal.hitTest(\_x, \_y, true)){  
yspeed \*= -0.2;  
\_y = posy;  
}

Can anyone help me? Is my explanation understandable? Thanks in advance.
