hi everybody,

I’m experimenting and learning… please be patient!

There are 25 objects moving randomly on stage.  
The hero moves up and down

What I want is to know is when the hero is being hit by the intruders, so far this is what I have:

[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
for (i=0; i\<=25; i++) {  
var dots = \_root[“dot”+i];  
trace (dots)  
if (\_root.box\_mc, hitTest(dots)) {  
\_root.text = “Collision Detected”;  
} else {  
\_root.text = “No Collision”;  
}  
}  
}  
[/AS]

thanks in advanced.

:pac:
