```
for (var count=0; count&lt;particles.length; count=count+1) {
	// update the current object based on its own speed
	particles[count].x=particles[count].x+particles[count].xspeed;
	// the square brackets are used to tell the array which object we want.
	

	
	
	
	
	
	
	// if the count variable is current set to 1, we're saying we want to access the object stored at particles[1]
	particles[count].y=particles[count].y-particles[count].yspeed;
	// reduce the objects yspeed to simulate gravity
	particles[count].yspeed=particles[count].yspeed-0.1;
	
	// we need to delete the particle if it has gone off the screen
	// check if the particle is off screen
	if (particles[count].y&gt;410) {
		//remove this particle from the screen
		removeChild(particles[count]);
		// delete this object from the list
		particles.splice(count, 1); // splie means delete. count indicates where to start deleting and the 1 means we only want to delete 1 thing
		// finally, to avoid any errors, we reduce our count by 1 to match the object we just deleted
		count=count-1;
	}
} // this ends the for loop

```

}

So far this is my action script…  
What I am trying to achieve is to make my ball get larger each time it collects a particle (Pixel). I am still new to as3 and would really appreciate the help with it.  
I understand I need to apply a hit test but from there I dont really know. Thanks in advance:)
