Okay, I’ve got a simple piece of hit detection below, when they detect a hit, they call a couple of custom functions from the classes. Well, I can’t use ‘removeChild’ here cause it would remove the object before the ‘die’ animation plays. So I figure I have to remove the object from the class. How? I am a noob so forgive me if I’ve skewered a few terms.

```auto

for(var b=0; b<blastArray.length;b++){
                for(var s=0; s<boxArray.length;s++){
                    if(blastArray**.hitTestObject(boxArray[s])){
                        trace('HIT!!!!');
                        boxArray[s].die();
                        blastArray**.hit();
                        //removeChild(boxArray[s]);
                        boxArray.splice(s,1);
                        //removeChild(blastArray**);
                        blastArray.splice(b,1);
                    }
                }
            }

```
