I was wondering if you could help me with something. I am trying to make a game where you have random objects falling vertically and must land in a bucket. The bucket is controlled by the mouse(it follows the mouse). I have not yet found an appropriate script to perform this action. Please help me out, that would mean a lot to me. Thanks

if you are duplicating the falling thing put in the mc

```auto
if(_parent.hitTest(_root.basket)) {
_parent._visible = false;
_root.score += 1;
}

```

thats how you get them to disappear and add to the score when they hit the basket.

```auto
onLoad = function() {
this._x = random(400);
//change 400 to the width of the stage
}

```

that makes them appear in random spots

```auto
onClipEvent(enterframe) {
this._x = _root.xmouse;
}
}

```

this makes the bucket follow the mouse

wasn’t sure what you were asking, so i answered most everything you stated you were going to do…

</div>

```auto
if(_parent.hitTest(_root.basket)) {
_parent._visible = false;
_root.score++ //jingman changed to ++;
}

```

```auto
onLoad = function() {
this._x = Math.random()*(Stage.width);
//jingman changed '400' to Stage.width
}

```

```auto
onClipEvent(enterframe) {
this._x = _root._xmouse; // jingman changed to _xmouse
}

```

Just cleaned it a bit, hope that’s cool Yeldarb.

The reply you gave was good untill the hit testing. I don’t know if it has to do with the score or anything. If you could give me a working script for hit testing without a score that would be great thanks.
