[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]I updated a catch via collision detection game to AS2 and noticed that only the first 3 out of 5 objects are being detected. All 5 are detected in AS1. If I comment out the last 2 all is fine. Just can’t spot the mistake or what differs between the first three and last two. Updated single quotes to double quotes, but that was not it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

```auto

```

There is also a timer

```auto
_global.seconds = 10;var miliseconds = 10;
function tellTime() {
	if (miliseconds<10) {
		time_txt.text = seconds+":"+"0"+miliseconds;
	} else {
		time_txt.text = seconds+":"+miliseconds;
	}
	miliseconds--;
	if (miliseconds<0) {
		miliseconds = 10;
		seconds--;
	}
	if (seconds<0) {
		clearInterval(id);
		time_txt.text = "Game Over";
		gotoAndPlay(50);
	}
	
}
id = setInterval(tellTime, 100);

stop();

```
