Need more info if you want help. Like, the code, the instance names, which version of actionscript, etc

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(_root.char.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
this._y -=10;
}
}

This is the code the mc that can move's name is char and the barriar is wall1 so basicely when it hits the barriar it has to stop but it just move's trough it

first off... dont copy code, learn code... secondly, try this: and tell us what happens

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
trace ("you have hit the wall");
}
}

ok, the problem is then definitly hte fact that its not hitting correct, are you sure your instance names are all correct (caps sensitive). And remember instant names, not symbol names

I think we are getting to the problem...whats the diffarence betwean instance and symbol names ?

problem identifiyd!

im guessing you know what a symbol name is (the name its given when you make it). When you add it to the stage, and click on it with the properties panel open (bttom of screen), at the far left top, you should see a drop down with (probably) the word movie clip on it. Right underneith that is a input box. THAT'S the instance name.

This *must* be this guy's first attempt at coding anything in Flash.
Instance names have been necessary since, well, ever.
AS1 or AS2?
