AS problem (hit test)

[Bluehare]

Every time i move my character against the top left and bottom left corners he somehow slides through, everywhere else is perfectly sealed off, just those corners

The script itself is here:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
		this._y -= 4;
	}else if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
		this._y += 4;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
		this._x -= 4;
	}else if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
		this._x += 4;
	}
	if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x+(_width/0.73),_y,true)){
		this._x -= 4;
	}
	if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x-(_width/-2),_y,true)){
		this._x += 4;
	}
	if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x,_y+(_height/1.5),true)){
		this._y -= 4;
	}
	if(_root.maze.hitTest(_x,_y-(_height/5),true)){
		this._y += 4;
	}
}

The walls are 6 pixels wide and theres a 12 pixel gap between each wall (not that that makes a difference right?)

Try using while statements to move the character until he is not colliding anymore.

I'm not familiar with "while" statements, how would i go about placing these in the code?

Can you post a .fla so I can see the problem? You gave a terrible description..

If you don't even know what a while statement is, then I would highly suggest learning the basics of ActionScript.

Also here is an example of while statements.
