Hi Guys,

I am writing a simple game in which the hero will need to jump on a trampoline.

the thing is there are various trampolines (set as instance name tramp1, tramp2, tramp3 etc, and only one trampoline will be active at any given time.

i have set a variable \_global.level which decides which trampoline is active  
but how do i do the hit test?

so far i have:

trampland = \_parent.ground.tramp2._spring_.hitTest(this.\_x+8, this.\_y+32, true);

if (trampland) {go and do something}

but how do i tell which ‘tramp’ to use?

have been trying \_parent.ground.tramp[\_global.level].spring, but to no avail

can anybody help please…

Richard

p.s.\* (spring\* is the ‘trampoline bed’ that activates the bounce)
