[Ciber]

Grr finaly 1 more step till it's complete. Okay, Heres how I have it set up and need it to be this way because my guy does not move, my senery does so the guy stays in the middle...

_root > Movie Clip, Instance Name: land > Movie Clip, Instance Name: 1

Heres what i have:

if (_root.man.hitTest(_root.land)) {DOWNmoveSpeed=0

}

else {DOWNmoveSpeed=5

}

It works with land, but i need it to work with movie clip instance name: 1 IN movie clip instance name: land

Please help.
Thanks.

Change the root to parent. That should make it work.
