I’m trying to make a flash game. Does anyone know how to create the game with rows of blocks that are destroyed when a ball is bounced against them - user has control over a block at the bottom that rebounds the ball into block above (when ball hits blocks they are destroyed)?  
I was wondering if anybody knows of a good site or some tutorials on how to properly make this - i’ve tried the tutorial on flash kit but couldn’t get it to work.  
Would really appreciate the help xx

## The thing that you shoot out of some kinda gun or sumthin’ (a laser or a bullet…etc) should be a movieclip and to detect if it hits something you should use this tute: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.asp)

## And to control the little block at the bottom you should use this tute: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/ASmovement.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/ASmovement.asp) just make the block move when a key is pressed (left arrow, right arrow)

like it’s all about the top ten posters huh?  
I see that you’ve changed even the location to our position in the top10… 🙂  
I guess I’d have 500 posts for now if I had no school!  
School takes away hundreds of posts!

Hi there –  
Thanks for the suggestions – I’ve had a go.  
I have got the ball bouncing randomly, and I have a moving paddle/bat although I am having problems!!! They are both working independantly of each other, at the moment the ball is bouncing off the bottom of the screen, and I need to get the ball interacting with the paddle/bat.  
I’m not too sure what I have done wrong …. Any suggestions?  
Please help xx

- I have tried to attach a copy of what I have done so far if it helps?
