Help Needed with Hit Test script

I am a student currently designing a mouse maze game by using flash 5

I have done the following

*Mouse movement script by using the direction key
*Maze map with wall

Problem lies here. I need a action script that can stop my mouse frm passing through the wall.What kind of collistion script do i need?Please help me solve my problem

There is a function called hitTest(), you can use it to detect when 1 clip touches another clip and it returns a boolean value of false or true. So you can use an if statement to check the hitTest() and if it is true you can tell the clip to stop moving.

I have tat hit test script,it can dectect the mouse hitting the wall but it wont stop the mouse from passing through,i have run through tutorial about collision, hit test.. etc

Help is needed.^_^Il|

Ah crap, that's right hitTest(target) goes by bounding box not shapeFlag (meaning the method in my head now == null).

I have seen this done before, but to be completely honest I completely suck at game programming in Flash. The only method that I can think of now is storing the walkable paths in an array, but as you can imagine... eek.

Ok, I found out where I had seen the storing the map in the array thing, which I may say this site is VERY useful for game designers....
