I have searched the foru and read the tutorial on how to do this so I tried to get my own code out of it…
What Im doing is I have a character and he can walk around… whenever he gets to a wall I want him to stop…
here is my code
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (wall1.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
_x -= 1;
}
if (wall1.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
_x += 1;
}
if (wall1.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, true)) {
_y -= 1;
}
if (wall1.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMin, true)) {
_y += 1;
}
}
```
All Help is appreciated

instead of \_y, or \_x -=1, try this.\_x or this.\_y

[http://membres.lycos.fr/mlkdesign/kirupa/circles.swf](http://membres.lycos.fr/mlkdesign/kirupa/circles.swf)
[http://membres.lycos.fr/mlkdesign/kirupa/circles.fla](http://membres.lycos.fr/mlkdesign/kirupa/circles.fla)
oh and
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.walkingMarz.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
```
wouldnt work because i guess youre confusing AS movement and frame handling…

should be
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.walkingMarz.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
```
