AS3 Collision Detection Problem?

[mtEverest]

I'm stuck getting collision detection to work on a simple shooter game.

Currently, you can click on the "enemy" to make the "Die" code run(nested in the "Monster" movieclip). I want to change it so you can press the space bar to shoot water splashes that act on the "enemies" (just funny ball shapes for now). Got that to work, but can't figure out how to pass the "Monster" movieclip into the Water class file to get the collision detection to work between the "Water" splashes and the dynamically generated "Monster".

FLA and class files attached. Many thanks...



// This function is on the main timeline

function shootWatergun(event:Event):void
{
var water:MovieClip;

if(keyPressed == Keyboard.SPACE && spaceIsDown == false)
{ // Monster is passed into a separate class "Water"
// Monster is a movieclip animated by XML

water = new Water(Monster);
water.x = waterGun_mc.x;
water.y = waterGun_mc.y;
water.rotation = waterGun_mc.rotation;
addChild(water);

spaceIsDown = true;
}

Make an instance of Monster and send that to your Water class. Right now you're trying to send Monster (the class itself) and it's throwing an error.
