Although I’m a natural insomniac - I am actually tired. I’ve got a couple of things to finish off for a client, then I’m gonna hit the sack.

Change the last hit test to this, else the ball just keeps bouncing on y. I’m sure there are better ways - I’ll check when I’m less tired
if ((this.hitTest(\_root.rimtop.\_x, \_root.rimtop.\_y, true))) {
this.\_y = this.\_y-10;
this.\_x = this.\_x-10;
speedy \*= -bounce;
}

Might use getBounds() to check the heights of the rims - if you want it more accurate - then you can apply the same effect the ball has when it hits the ground and walls.

I’m off to get some sleep. Maybe someone can work on it till I get a chance to have another look at it.
