i am teaching myself actionscript in flash mx and using this knowledge as i learn it i want to make like a topdown view run around flash game. ive only just started it and and wanted to get the movement and stuff done first.

This is code that i have applied to the player's character object:

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
// Set Variables
speed = 2.5
angle = 5

// Move Forward
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
_y -= speed*Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
_x += speed*Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
}
// Move Backward
if (!Key.isDown(Key.UP) && Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
_y += (speed/2)*Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
_x -= (speed/2)*Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
}
// Turn Left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_rotation = _rotation - angle
}
// Turn Right
if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_rotation = _rotation + angle
}
}

how would i - using hitTest and getBounds make the object detect that its hitting something and stop moving or something. kind of like the Maze.fla in the flash samples folder except with round and curvy walls and the better movement.

Thanks

pssst put a subject on man

edit: Thats better :)

thanks for helping guys :)
