Creating a basket Ball in Flash MX - I need help

programming flash
1

i am going to attempt to make a basket ball game in flash. i already have created the ball. I also made it so you can click on it and throw it.

The problem is, i want to make a basket ball hoop, that counts the number of times it goes in, and i want to make it look nice and clean.

I have created the basket ball hoop, but i need to know how to make the ball look like its going in, instead of having it go through, and show some of the hoop in the process.

Thanks for any help!:slight_smile:

hmm… that would be tough. you have to know how to script circle - point collision reaction so that the ball bounces realisticaly off the rim. also, you may need to know frame independant collision detect if the ball is moving fast enough… both of those subjects are pretty tough. if you’re really interested, you may want to check out the book “macromedia flash mx game design demystified” it goes in depth in those subjects and it’s really usefull if you’re interested in flash game design. sorry for the little help.
