Duplicate MC-HitTest

programming flash
1

See i wanna make a christmas special game
Before christmas is here.
So i have trouble having a duplicated MC to have a hitTest.
Im goanna make a santa claus cathcing game…

Maybe examples tutorials or explainers that are out there and can help me out.

When you duplicate a movieCLip… Do this:


duplicateMovieClip(_root.santa, "santa"+ii, ii);

ii just increments itself everytime you put a new duplicateMovie in it… I have some other ideas for you as well… But I’m starving… Hungie Hungie Homie…

lol

btw… When doing a hitTest then…


if(_root.ball.hitTest(_root["santa"+i]){}

Then just figure out some kind of loop to loop aorund the santa’s you already have on screen… And this… And you’re made… I know a way to… But am hungry… peace.

When you get bcak can you help me with this.
See i have an example i found on flashkit
and well i this is a big code and not sure how it works maybe some opne can define it for mme…

The falling santa

onClipEvent (load) {
    if (_name == "ballParent") {
        _visible = 0;
        _root.array = new Array();
        _root.arraySize = 0;
        ticks = 0;
        i = 0;
    } else {
        _x = _width/2+random(550-_width/2);
        speed = 10+random(4);
        move = 1;
    }
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (_name == "ballParent") {
        ticks++;
        if (ticks>25) {
            this.duplicateMovieClip("ball"+i, i+10);
            _parent["ball"+i].name = i;
            _root.array[_root.arraysize] = i;
            _root.arraysize++;
            i++;
            ticks = 0;
        }
    } else {
        if (move == 1) {
            _y += speed;
            if (_y>410) {
                move = 0;
            }
        } else {
            for (i=0; i<_root.arraysize; i++) {
                if (_root.array* == name) {
                    // trace(_root.array);
                    for (j=i; j<_root.arraysize-1; j++) {
                        _root.array[j] = _root.array[j+1];
                    }
                    delete _root.array[_root.arraysize];
                    _root.arraysize--;
                    i = _root.arraysize;
                }
            }
            removeMovieClip("");
        }
    }
}
onClipEvent (load) {
    _root.array[_root.arraysize] = i;
    _root.arraysize++;
}

The collector

[onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
    _x = _root._xmouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    for (i=0; i&lt;_root.arraysize; i++) {
        if (hitTest(_root["ball"+_root.array*])) {
            _root["ball"+_root.array*].move = 0;
            /:_root.score = _root.score + 1;
        }
    }
}
