AS Problem

for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
if("cash" + i.hitTest(wheel1)){
"cash" + i.removeMovieClip();
_root.cash = _root.cash + 500;
}
}

Ok so i am trying to check if cash1, cash2, cash3, cash4 etc is being hit by wheel1. If i switch the code around it won't work. What am i doing wrong?! Thanks

for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
if(["cash" + i].hitTest(wheel1)){
["cash" + i].removeMovieClip();
_root.cash = _root.cash + 500;
}
}

Use square brackets to treat the expression "cash" + i as an object.

Everything.

if(_root["cash" + i].hitTest(wheel1)){

If that doesn't work, try _root.wheel1

OK, time to chill out now. Use D7's tension-release thread for that stuff.

At least repeat spam a decent picture instead of that crap.

I had to change the code to comply with something and i need it to be in the ground movie clip

for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
if(ground["greencash" + i].hitTest(wheel1)){
(ground["greencash" + i]).removeMovieClip();
_root.cash = _root.cash + 500;
}
}
}

So i wack that in, so it will refer to ground.cash1 etc and this won't work. I used the trace identifier so i could check if it is actually being hit, and it is. But the movie clip is not being deleted. Anyone know why? Thanks

Just to check, it is in an enterFrame handler or interval isnt it?

[wodahs]

No it isn't, i tried sticking it in the ground.onEnterFrame function and a number of exciting and weird things and stupid things happened when i did lol. Do you know what could be stopping it to delete?

[T-H]

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
if(ground["greencash" + i].hitTest(wheel1)){
(ground["greencash" + i]).removeMovieClip();
_root.cash = _root.cash + 500;
}
}
}
}

[wodahs]

Its not in the _root directory either. Sorry for being a pain in the arse lol.

[T-H]

Well my last guess will be that you might not have specified the full destination of wheel1.

Do you need to use ground.wheel1?
If it is outside the ground clip, hitTesting it with something inside the ground clip may result in the 2 objexts having co ordinates in relation to different points.

Ok, the full game is in a movie clip called "easy"

After that, there are symbols and stuff, for wheel1 and 2. Then there is the chassis of the car, after that there is a background pciture. There is a ground movie clip with an instance name of ground.

The symbols that i want to delete are in there. so technically, ground is at _root.easy.ground

Then in ground, there is the ground (oddly enough) and on the top most layer there is all the symbols in different places going from 1 - 9. I know that the code works because it is adding to the _root.cash. So, i need to delete the corresponding cash movie clip in the ground movie clip.

Try specifying the full path

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++){
if(_root.easy.ground["greencash" + i].hitTest(_root.easy.ground.wheel1)){
_root.easy.ground["greencash" + i].removeMovieClip();
_root.cash = _root.cash + 500;
}
}
}
