HitTest With Irregular Shapes

HitTest With Irregular Shapes

Hi! This is my first tutorial in FlashKit. I hope you will like it.
HitTest is very important for creating games. In Flash, there are two types of HitTest. I will be concentrating on the one that takes three parameters: myMovieClip.hitTest(x, y, shapeFlag)

An example ...


Suppose you are creating a space shooter and you want your bullets to hit the exact spot on your enemy and not only the Bounding Box. Here is what you do:

1. Create the bullet, it could be a small rectangle facing upward. Convert it to a MovieClip and name it weapon.
2. Create an irregular shape. It could be anything - maybe two circles combined together.
3. Convert it into a movieclip and name it target.

» Title: Horizontal Road Drive
» Description:

The flash's horizontal road drive was done in CS4 and was upgraded to CS6. The car responds to right/ left key and flash will auto-generate the movement of roads from left-right or right-left based on random number. Have fun driving in this virtual environment and avoid other cars... :) If you are creative, a road driving game can be created from it.
