Question

I am making a game which uses collision detection with the mouse.

The player is a custom mouse cursor when the mouse collies with an object the mouse is moved to the coordinates X0,Y0. The code I have used to achieve this is below. However when the mouse is moved to X0,Y0 after a collision when the mouse is moved it starts back where the collision took place rather than moving from the top of the screen.

import flash.events.Event;

var cursor:MovieClip;

function initializeMovie ():void {

cursor = new Cursor();
addChild (cursor);
cursor.enabled = false;
Mouse.hide ();
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, dragCursor);
}

function dragCursor (event:MouseEvent):void{

cursor.x = this.mouseX;
cursor.y = this.mouseY;
}

initializeMovie ();

this.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleCollision)

function handleCollision( e:Event ):void{

if(cursor.hitTestObject( wall )){
cursor.x = 0
cursor.y = 0
     }

}

Answer 1

Create a button at the 0, 0 coord that is required to click to continue again. Then your user will have to move the mouse to to that spot where you can continue to have the custom cursor track your mouse.
