Hit Testing

Create two movieclips, and do whatever you want with them. Just so I can show you how they work in hit test coding, I will call them mc1 and mc2. In mc1, type the following:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.mc2)) {
		_root.
	}
}

Right now it will only detect the contact, but nothing will happen. If you want it to go to frame 2 of mc1 after contact, give frame 2 of the mc a frame label, for instance, Action. (to give frame labels, just select the frame and in the properties type in frame label Action) Then type this in after the last _root.:

GotoAndStop("Action");

Now, put everything you've learned into a game, or at least be happy with whatever actionscript you copied and then closed this tutorial.
