Hi,
I'm trying to use the Mvc pattern for the first time and I'm guessing
if I'm using the best method to achieve a goal.
Now the thing is working... only not sure there is a better mode!
This is the problem:
1) in my fla there are some movieclip containing button, they are

apparent because I

when playing from CD, not HD.

Why do your buttons all need references to different models?
If they really do use different models then I'd create different views to
render them and different controllers to control them.
If they're all using the same model then just pass a reference to the button

Even though a TextArea is not editable, the user can still select it.

The button didn't need reference to differents model (there is just
one model) that was an error, now I have changed so now I pass just
one reference to the model to the _root an every button can get it.
How can I pass the reference to the button at the controller?

I am creating a simple pong / breakout / arkanoid game in AS2 and not sure
how best to deal with the classes.

My question is, which class should check for

I would make the ball responsible for checking if it collides with the paddle
because the ball's behavior/state will change - not the paddle's, nor does the
state of the 'game' really change.
An alternative would be to create a CollissionControler.as that does all your
hit testing for you.
Thanks for the reply Dan
Not quite sure how the Ball references the Paddle or alternatively the
CollisionController references the ball and paddle.
My Game class creates the Ball and Paddle as follows:
mcPaddle = new Paddle(mcReference, paddle_mc, 50, 100, 289);
var vBall_Object = new
That would be one way. Although it is rather limiting. I'm assuming that the
ball will bounce whenever it hits an object.
Perhaps create an array of bounceObjects[];
function addBounceObject(obj:Object):Number{
return bounceObjects.push(obj);
}
Then you could create your hit

Oh yes that looks like a very neat solution Dan!!
From your code, it looks like your checkCollisions method is within the Ball
class - is that correct?
And hence would the addBounceObject method also be in the Ball class?
So the Game object would call the checkCollisions for each ball (there

Another possible strategy is for the ball to fire off an event every
time it crosses certain vertical location thresholds. The target
objects could then listen for the event which matches their vertical
location to test for a collision.

I hit test against brickHolder_mc first, if this is succesful I dip down

Rather than testing every brick for a collision all the time, I was thinking
of using a tile based approach to display the bricks. Therefore rather than
each brick checking for a collision with the ball, it is a case of checking
what tile (brick) the ball currently occupies if any and if that
