In advance i apologize about the weak explanation, its the best i can do lol.

I have a hit test object which is called timeblock. I have created several timeblocks with a loop and added them to a \_timeblock array and added them to the stage. These timeblocks are inside a timeline class. In the frame code i have created several timelines with a loop and added them to the stage in different y positions.

I have some movieclip objects which when hits a timeblock should move to that timeblock’s x and y position. This works fine with one timeline but with an array of these timeblock objects the movieclip goes to the wrong y position but right x?

I have omitted most of the code because there’s a lot and its mostly irrelevant.

**Timeline Class**

\*\*FRAME CODE (main class)

\*\*This is one the functions which should be used by the timeline class to check whether its hit the timeblocks

```auto

    addChild[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]guitar[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    soundMC.[COLOR=#993300]push[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]guitar[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    guitar.[COLOR=#000000]x[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]200[/COLOR];
    guitar.[COLOR=#000000]y[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]200[/COLOR];
