Hit test / collision detection and AS

Hi there,
I am trying to figure a way to run a hit-test to an object on the stage. The object is appearing via actionscript (Block)
and the object that hits it is Player.
This will work once I put the Block on the stage not manually, and not via actionscript, but I want to use code to call the block because i am calling several blocks.
See attached code...
Could anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong?!
is it not possible this way?

Thanks!

Dear adamlewen
If you want to delete each movieclip hittest you should do it in a "for" loop. so you can detect the hit test and do the corresponding visual effect .
here is a sample file: take a look ...
you have some problem with naming movieclips I think ...
you have duplicated items in your array which cause conflict

good luck and feel free to contact me if you have further problem

Block only contains a reference to the last clip attached. You can either loop through the array within your onEnterFrame or hitTest the other way round
eg/within your loop
Block.onEnterFrame = checkHit
//outside loop
function checkHit(){
if(this.hitTest(_root.Player)) {
//dostuff
edit/or if it doesn`t matter which clip hits Player -do as above suggested

Hi MajiDfn
Thanks for that,
now the score and trace do react :)
but they (the Blocks) won't gotoAndStop another frame and also won't obey a removeMovieClip in the if statement...

might the problem be in the way I distribute the Blocks?

Thanks again!

Hi
I don't know whether or not I got the whole Idea, but you should check the hit test with _root.BlockHolder instead of _root.Block !

if it's doesn't solve your problem please explain it more or even send a sample file.
