Help w/glitch

1

Hey guys. I’m working on a Mario-type game and I’ve come across a problem :puzzled: Take a look at this code. When the man jumps on the blob, the hitTest won’t register. This only happens when the code checks the hitTest and if the man is airborn. If “&& airborn” is eliminated, the blob will be removed when the man makes contact with it anytime, even if the man is not jumping. Help me out, will ya?

-MC with instance name “man”-

onClipEvent (load) {
	xs = 0;
	ys = 0;
	force = 1;
	ms = 10;
	friction = 0.8;
	jforce = 18;
	airborn = true;
	fl = _root.fl;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this._x += xs;
	xs *= friction;
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
		this._xscale = -100;
		xs += (force<ms);
	} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
		this._xscale = 100;
		xs -= (force<ms);
	} else {
		this.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
	this._y += (ys += _root.grav);
	if (this._y>fl) {
		this._y = fl;
	}
	if (this._y == fl) {
		ys = 0;
		airborn = false;
	} else {
		airborn = true;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !airborn) {
		ys = -jforce;
	}
	if (airborn) {
