this line

```auto
trace(collisionsArray2*.object2);

```

returns: [object BounceLefts] and [object BounceUps] respectively but the switch doesn’t return its traces

i’ve also tried without the quotes

```auto
case BounceUps:

```

```auto

var collisionsArray2:Array=collisions2.checkCollisions();
                    
                    for (var i:uint=0; i<collisionsArray2.length; i++)
                        {
                            trace("collision2Hit");
                            trace(collisionsArray2*.object2);
                                switch (collisionsArray2*.object2)
                                    {
                                    case "BounceUps" :
