Re: FLASH: collision detection?

[al4302]

The only advice I Can give you is have two balls for each ball MC one

inside the other. The point is that the collision will detect on a square

not a circle, so make the inner call much smaller so that the square fits

into the outer circle the use the inner MC for the collision detection, I do

not know if that will help but I would try it out first.
