Quality control

[ottermaniac]

For some reason this code doesnt work:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.son)) {
_quality=LOW;
}
}

When the movieclip hits 'son' the quality of the movie should turn low, anyone know where it's wrong?

_quality="LOW";

You need the "s.

i haven't tried changing quality before, but would it be _root._quality instead of just _quality?

Depends on whether he wants to change the quality of the entire movie or just the movieclip that was hitting the son mc.

I don't think it's possible to change the quality of a single movieclip, although i've never tried.
