hitTestObject movieclips FAILS

[hneyrlee]

Hello everyone,

i am getting a trouble with the hitTestObject method.

I have three movie clips- p1_mc,p2_mc,ground_mc

lifea and lifeb are dynamic text boxes. They will record the life of players(it is a fighting game)

variables a & b will record which way the players are facing(left(0) , right(1))

But when i test the movie, hitTestobject only works on   condi(a boolean variable) and cond(a boolean variable)

*PS: this is a part of my whole actions code.

CODE:

import flash.events.*;

lifea.text='100'

lifeb.text='100'

var a = "1";

var b = "0";

MovieClip(root).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,etf);

function etf(e:Event) {

          var condit = MovieClip(p2_mc.bk).hitTestObject(p1_mc.a_mc)

          if ( condit) {

                    if (b=="1") {

                              p2_mc.gotoAndStop(9);

                    }

                    if (b=="0") {

                              p2_mc.gotoAndStop(1);

                    }

                    lifea.text= String( Number(lifea.text)-10)

                    p1_mc.alpha -=  0.1;

          }

          var cond = (! p2_mc.hitTestObject(ground_mc))

          if ( cond ) {

                    p2_mc.y +=  3;

          } else {

                    k.p2up = false;

          }

          var condi = p1_mc.ak.hitTestObject(p2_mc.b_mc)

          if (condi) {

                    if (a=="1") {

                              p1_mc.gotoAndStop(1);

                    }

                    if (a=="0") {

                              p1_mc.gotoAndStop(9);

                    }

                    lifeb.text= String( Number(lifeb.text)-10)

                    p2_mc.alpha -=  0.1;

          }

          var co = (! p1_mc.hitTestObject(ground_mc))

          if (co) {

                    p1_mc.y +=  3;

          } else {

                    k.p1up = false;

          }

}

What do you have that shows the hitTestObject is failing?  You should use the trace() function to keep track of the hitTest values so that you can see whether or not it is those or some other logic that is not doing what you expect.

I have written 'a text box shows " hit" when hit.' at two if statement

But only one works......

Use the trace() function to check the values that make up your conditionals to see if they are what they should be and if they are actually being tested  (meaning... trace("condi = " + condi); etc)   If the trail of traces is too much then use more textfields to have the values displayed
