Flash Collision

Question

hello can you please help on the tut that im doing... this is the tut site http://as3gametuts.com/2012/06/20/platformer-12/comment-page-1/#comment-800

and well i do not know whats the problem with the code that the bullet isnt colliding with the enemy.. this is the code for it..

 function fireBullet():void {
    var playerDirection:String;
       if(player.scaleX < 0){
        playerDirection = "left";
    } else if(player.scaleX > 0){
        playerDirection = "right";
    }
    var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet(player.x - scrollX, player.y - scrollY, playerDirection, xSpeed);
    back.addChild(bullet);
    bulletList.push(bullet);
    bullet.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED, bulletRemoved);

}
var bulletList:Array = new Array();
function bulletRemoved(e:Event):void {
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED, bulletRemoved); //this just removes the eventListener so we don't get an error
bulletList.splice(bulletList.indexOf(e.currentTarget), 1); //this removes 1 object from the bulletList, at the index of whatever object caused this function to activate
}
//bullet

//enemies
var enemyList:Array = new Array();
function addEnemy(xLocation:int, yLocation:int):void{
var enemy:Enemy = new Enemy(xLocation, yLocation);
back.addChild(enemy);
enemy.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED, enemyRemoved);
enemyList.push(enemy);
}
function addEnemy1(xLocation:int, yLocation:int):void{
var enemy1:Enemy1 = new Enemy1(xLocation, yLocation);
back.addChild(enemy1); 
enemy1.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED, enemyRemoved);
enemyList.push(enemy1);
}
function enemyRemoved(e:Event):void{
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED, enemyRemoved); //this just removes the eventListener so we don't get an error
enemyList.splice(enemyList.indexOf(e.currentTarget), 1); //this removes 1 object from the enemyList, at the index of whatever object caused this function to activate
}

addEnemiesToLevel1();

function addEnemiesToLevel1():void{
addEnemy(272.8, 19.8);
addEnemy(959, 278.8);
addEnemy1(374.1, 305.1);
addEnemy1(966, 29);
}

This is the Main Loop

//main loop

Answer 1

i think i can answer my own question.. -_- puttingenemy.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED, enemyRemoved); on 'function addEnemy(xLocation:int, yLocation:int):void{ isnt appropriate coz it will instanly turn the array to 0; so the object will be impossible to collide with.. i transferred the enemy removed into the mainloop.. and it worked just fine..
