I am currently creating a platform game using FLASH MX and would be very grateful if somone could tell me how I could have simple actions performed when two movie clips collide.
I have created a movable character MC and I need for the scene to change when it comes into contact with a door MC.
I also need for the positon of the character MC to change when it collides with a bad guy MC so that when the character comes into contact with a bad guy it is zapped back to the start or for the scene to restart or anything.
Can anybody please help :q: I am soooo desperate!!!
PS I have seen the collision detection tutorial and still don’t know how to do this.
Thank you Ⓜ

you ahve
if (\_root.mcname, hitTest(\_root.mcname2)){
//all the actions you want here
}
i guess to make the character zap back youd put something like
character.\_x=0;
character.\_y=0;
insisde the if statement assuming you want it to move to 0,0
and to change scenes, youd probably put \_root.gotoAndStop(2);
where each frame on root is a different scene. not to sure about aht though.
