The Pongout Tutorial on this site is fantastic.  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/pongout.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/pongout.htm)

It has really helped me and its very user-friendly. I actually have a clue what is going on…ha ha

But I am in great need of help, so hopefully someone will be kind enough to offer me some guidance!!

I have 2 questions regarding this pongout game:

**Question 1**  
If I wanted to have more than 1 color block, how would I go about this? Would I need to use an array? Where could I put this in the code?

**Question 2**  
If I wanted some blocks (for example the first row of blocks) to be solid and not disappear on contact of the ball. (sort of like a solid brick wall) How would I code this? This puzzles me quite a bit.

I really hope someone can help me. I would be sooooo grateful. :A+:

I sorted out my First Question…I just used a OnClipEvent(load) code on the brick MC and now randomly the blocks are different colors…

But can someone please help me with question 2? I would really appreciate it!!
