Need some ActionScript 3 help

[Sicron]

I have to make an assignment for school, and basically we have to make this Christmas card, made completely with ActionScript 3. And mind you, I am a complete Actionscript 3 noob.

Now, it being winter and all, I added some snow to my card. The snow works fine, but we have certain prerequisites we have to meet for our card. One of them is the usage of a Hittest.

Now what I wanted to do was add a hittest to the snowflakes with the mouse, and have the flakes bounce of the mouse.

///////////////SNEEUWVLOKKEN CODE///////////////

// Sneeuwvlokken lijst
var vlokken:Array = new Array()

//aantal sneeuwvlokken en snelheid
var aantal:int = 250;
var speed:int = 3;

var vlok:MovieClip; // maak nieuwe sneeuwvlok movieclip aan

for(var i:int = 0; i<=aantal; i++)
{
	vlok = new MovieClip(); //Nieuw sneeuwvlokje aanmaken
	vlok.graphics.clear();
	vlok.graphics.beginFill(0xCCCCCC, 1) //Kleur sneeuw
	vlok.graphics.drawCircle( -2, -2, 3 + Math.random()); // Grootte van sneeuwvlok
	
	vlok.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth; //Beginpunt X
	vlok.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;//Beginpunt Y
	
	// zet snelheid x in vlok
	vlok.speedX = Math.random(); //Snelheid X
	// zet snelheid y in vlok
	vlok.speedY = 2 + Math.random() * 10; //Snelheid Y
	
	vlok.scaleX = Math.random() * vlok.scaleY; // Verschillend in grootte X
	vlok.scaleY = vlok.scaleX; // Neem Y grootte aan voor ronde sneeuwvlok
	
	
	// voeg toe aan displaylist
	addChild(vlok);
	
	// voeg aan sneeuwvlokken lijst toe
	vlokken.push (vlok);
}


 
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, intro); 
function intro(e:Event):void
{
     vlok.hitTestPoint(parent.mouseX, parent.mouseY, true)
     {
        trace("The mouse hits a snowflake")
     }
}  


addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function():void
{
	for (var i:int = 0; i < vlokken.length; ++i)
	{
		var vlok:MovieClip = vlokken[i] as MovieClip;
		vlok.x += vlok.speedX;
		vlok.y += vlok.speedY;
		
		if(vlok.y > stage.stageHeight || vlok.x > stage.stageWidth)
		{
			vlok.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
			vlok.y = -10;
		}
	}


}

)

Now the problem with the code above is, whenever I start the movie, I will just get a complete list of traces, like it is just looping, without the flakes even hitting the mouse.

I'm sort of stuck now, I have tried a million things now, nothing works..

vlok.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;//Beginpunt Y You forgot to put a space between ;// it should be ; //

The // is a comment, so that doesn't change that much anyway. The big problem I have is that...

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, intro); 
function intro(e:Event):void
{
     vlok.hitTestPoint(parent.mouseX, parent.mouseY, true)
     {
        trace("The mouse hits a snowflake")
     }
}

...is not working.

if vlok.hitTestPoint(parent.mouseX, parent.mouseY, true)

?

don't forget, you're only setting the event listener on the last vlok object (because you're adding the event listener outside the for loop)
As for intro, it can be done like this;

function intro(e:Event):void
{
     var thisVlok:DisplayObject = e.target as DisplayObject;
     if (thisVlok.hitTestPoint(parent.mouseX, parent.mouseY, true))
     {
        trace("The mouse hits a snowflake");
     }
}

The If statement fixed the looping, thanks for that harSens. I don't know how I could've been so stupid to miss that part. I'm still having trouble to get it to work though. It just doesn't function no matter where I place it. Maybe I should try to think of something different for a hittest, since this is probably above my current skills.

Hittest is as easy as it gets, you just have to know how to use it.
