Hey everyone,

I'm making a maze game but I'm having a bit of trouble. When you hit the walls you are sent to a different frame where it tells you that you have lost, here is the code for that:

if (Wall.hitTest(Player._x, Player._y, true)) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

That works fine, it's just the restart button I can't get working, I click on it and nothing happens, here is the code:

Retry.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have no idea why it won't work, please help me.

You can find all the key values in Flash Help, press F1 and look for "Keyboard Keys and Key Code Values"

You could try making the whole maze or parts of the maze move around.

Just wondering, how are you doing collision detection? Are you using hitTest on all "bits" of the maze?

No, I'm doing it all in one big bit. Why?

Just curious. I am currently learning many different ways of doing collision detection, and I thought that if each individual bit was hittested, it might be a bit CPU intensive, yet your program seems to work just fine.

I learned that hitTest == evil, so I'm searching for different alternatives, and there is a lot out there.

Really, I only know of a few. I've got all the walls in one movieclip and am using a shapeflag hitTest. Yeah I mentioned the enhance code idea in your other thread because that is something I really want, I just don't feel my code is correct. it works and everything but that doesn't mean its good. If you know what I mean .

hitTest == evil


I see your getting to used to coding in ActionScript :P.
