This is something that has been puzzling me for awhile…how would I use “hitTest” to create a platform game? More specifically, how would I use “hitTest” to prevent my character from falling through the platforms. Any help would be greatly appreciated…Thanks in advance.=)

**EDIT:**  
I use Flash MX by the way.
