simple stuff

This may be really easy to do but im having trouble. I want a movie clip that moves to the right and when it hits a wall MC it moves to the left and then moves to the right again after it hits another wall. Basically like pong.

you can do a if (_x > __place value here__ ) then ball -= -1; ..... and same thing for the other side but with a if (_x <..... then ball += +1;

Let me know if that makes sense

im sorry I don't get it.

oppps sorry, ignore that ...... i've seen this before. It's usually a onClipEvent (load) action that first determines the movement

Then there's a onClipEvent (enterframe) action that has the If statements. Maybe someone can post a link to an example they've seen recently for you

Sorry bout that

It's called a hit test and there are a lot of source files in the message board. Check out CyanBlues thread as he has what you're looking for. If not then tell me and I will make you the code :D

take a look at the file i attached.

There is a ball movie clip with 2 event handlers.

Pretty straightforward.

You know when I want to make a script its hard to think of how doing it but looking at a completed script it is soooo simple.
