hitTest between to movie clips

[martinb7]

Hi, i am making a car game where you have a car(movieclip named car) and you drive it around using the arrow keys and when it hits a coin (movieclip called coin), i would like a text box called score to update by 1.

Any ideas??

Thanx

Something like this should get you started:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	(_root.car.hitTest(_root.coin))?_root.score++:null;
         }

yes that works thanx

BUT, i only want the score to +1 not keep increasing, and when the car (movieclip(car)) hits the coin, i would like the coin to randomise to a new postition

//random code if you need it for the coin//

coinposx = random(687.3);
	coinposy = random(461.0);
	coin._x = coinposx;
	coin._y = coinposy;

Any ideas??

Thanx

Martin
