Question

I have a object that can be dragged into another object. I have set up a hit test for the collision. When the collision occurs I would like to progress to the next frame however, I have to click on the draggable object for it to do so. I would like it to move to the next frame right away without clicking. Is there anyway to fix this?

I mean after I have dragged the objected to create the collision I need to click on the object again to progress to the next frame. I do not want to have to click on the object again I want it to go to the next frame as the collision occurs.

This is my code

bottle.buttonMode = true;

bottle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);

bottle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop);


function collision():void{
   if(bottle.hitTestObject(hit)){
    nextFrame();
    }
  }

 function drag(e:MouseEvent):void{
 bottle.startDrag();
 collision();
}



    function drop(e:MouseEvent):void{
    bottle.stopDrag();
}

Answer 1

You should be checking for collisions after the drop, not at the start of the drag:

function collision():void{
    if(bottle.hitTestObject(hit)){
        nextFrame();
    }
}

function drag(e:MouseEvent):void{
    bottle.startDrag();
}

function drop(e:MouseEvent):void{
    bottle.stopDrag();
    collision();
}
