Collision Dectection Help

[MiniNova]

Need some more help...

Does anyone know some actionscript that will detect when my moving object hits it then change the frame?

Cheers,
MiniNova.

Look up hitTest on AS MAIN.

Hits what?

im assuming you just want a simple hit detection so here it is:

if (this.hitTest(_root.movingobject)){
_root.movingobject.gotoAndStop(2);
}

Put that in whatever you want to hit with the moving object.

thanks but it came up with:
________________________________________
________________________________________
__________
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Walls, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
if (this.hitTest(_root.movingobject)){

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

I want is if my object (that moves with the arrow keys) hits a wall (the wall is a movie clip) the whole movie will change to a different keyframe.

it looks like it'll work... do i have to do the instance name of teh wall where it sez. So it'll look like this:
(_root."instance name")

I tried it normal but it said there was errors.
