Simple breakout

Hi everyone, first post!!

Right, down to business. I have a slight understandng of flash, i can recognize simple commands, used a bit of hittest.

Could anyone show me the simplest way to make a breakout game?
But, wait, there’s more…
All I’d like is the code for the paddle and the ball, nothing else. I do not want the code for the bricks.
I can move the paddle left and right, just not sure about what happens when the ball hits the paddle.

So does anyone have the patience to show me how to do this? I’d be very grateful…

Thanks in advance.
