collision detection

Yup, it's me again: I have two images moving randomly around. I would like them to (at the very least) stop if they touch. I'm not sure I understand the basics of how to detect collisions. I've got something like on mouseup put random(500), random(500) into LOC1 put random(500), random(500) into LOC...

No, I was just sending a plain mouseUp to the whole card... perhaps that is what created my issues? I don't know. I do know that if I were to simply click manually on the card, it worked fine.

counting and tables - 2 problems

I have two cards in my stack: One runs some graphics, and the other records various numerical properties of what the graphics have done - or at least, that's what it's supposed to do. Problem 1) I'm measuring the distance in pixels that 2 gif images have traveled. I am able to do this just fine. Whe...

a creative way to crash Rev - any suggestions?

So, what I'm trying to do is get two images to "line up" with points to which they are going to move. I have written this script, but all it does is close down Rev. Any suggestions for what might be wrong? on mouseup set the lockmoves to true put random(1000),random(1000) into LOC1 put random(1000),...

simultaneous movement

Can someone help me with some simple code to make two graphics move simultaneously? Currently, I've got them both turning to random angles, but they won't do it at the same time... any suggestions? I'm pretty new to Rev and to programming in general, and it feels like I"m missing something obvious.....

help with moving graphics

Hello, I am more or less brand new to the worlds both of programming, and to Rev in particular. I am trying to create a simulation of moving (and hopefully eventually interacting) animals. Currently, I have a couple of polygons that are moving around a screen. How do I specify a "head" end so that t...
