Readjusting Movie Clips

[yopugged]

So, I have a movie clip by the name of 'char' that moves around with the arrow keys. When it hits another movie clip by the name 'door' i would like the movie clip to transfer to a new location without having to direct it mathematically. When I put a new frame and reposition the movie clip 'char', when the timeline hits that point, the movie clip 'char' doesn't switch positions.

use the hittest function.

Not the right syntax here but you can look that part up.

char.hitTest(door) = function
move char to next scene or frame thats it prettymuch

judging by the question i take it you have no idea what hitTest is so the above quote may confuse you with the incorrect syntax. here let me fix it up a bit for you.

this.onEnterFrame = function(){ // this makes sure we are always
// checking for the collision below
if (char.hitTest(door)){ // this controls the collison
gotoAndStop(/*place frame number in here*/);
}}


that code should go on the main timeline and should work in all versions of actionscript. now if you want to put that code on a movieclip you may have to change the code a bit to make it work but should solve your problem.
