Hi everyone!
I am getting exremly stressed with my uni project. i am making a simple game in flash mx. I am stuck trying to detect when a movie clip 'bad guy' comes into contact with you as the main player and therefore the number of lives should decrease by one and the player return to it's starting position. I have tried a number of tutorials but none of been helpful. I will be extremly greatful if any one can make any suggestions, believe me anything will be helpful at the mo! If you need any additonal info let me no.

how are you trying to get the player to return to the start? is there a timeline to direct or are you coding for the player's _x,_y properties?

you are probably using some kind of loop to make on your bad guy and main player move. in that loop use a hitTest() whenever either's _x,_y properties change.

Thanks for your reply. My bad guys are on a set path, I have figured out how to create the hit test however instead of one life being deducted when a collision takes place the lives continue to go down as i can't get the player to return to its strating position.
