Have a look at [http://knut.espenish.com/speedracer/content/game.html](http://knut.espenish.com/speedracer/content/game.html).

What happens here is that the car MC performs a hittest on the road MC. When the cars centre goes outside the shape of the road it sends the car MC back some points on its axis.

I want the car to stop going the direction its going when it exceeds the x and y co-ordinates of the Road MC…

This is the code…

\_root.car.\_x += -1;  
\_root.car.\_y += 25;

I want it to say something like this…

\_root.car.\_x = the x co-ordinate it has when the hittest detects that it is outside the roadMC;

\_root.car.\_y = the y co-ordinate it has when the hittest detects that it is outside the roadMC;

Cheers
