hitTest problem

[The-Almighty-Hominid]

I am having a problem stopping an MC when it hits another object. Here is my code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root["bad guy" + i], hitTest (_root.block)) {
_root["bad guy" + i].stop()
}
}

The MC is called "bad guy" but since they are being spawned I made each other one have i added to them. So technically "bad guy" + i should work... :S

Thanks in advance...

I Think its because your code reads:

if (_root["bad guy" + i], hitTest (_root.block)) {

on that line. The period in "_root["bad guy"+i].hitTest(_root.block))"

if you copied this directly from your actions, change the comma to a period, otherwise, I dont see anyhting wrong.

you cant have a space in an instance name. you said 'bad guy', its gotta be badGuy, or bad_guy or something. also you wrote a comma and then a space after the first ], but it should just be _root ["baddy" + i].hitTest (/**/)

thats about it, you may have duplicated the baddies wrong also.
