Thanks, Mark, that is a solution that would work very well.

In my solution to the problem I just "parked" the images off-screen once they had been intersected with.

HOWEVER . . . at the risk of sound a teeny-weeny bit b*tchy . . .

It does seem illogical that while one can set levels of transparency with interset an image can continue intersecting with another when it is, supposedly, invisible . . .

Certainly, having to explain THAT to children is going to make them take an even
more dim view of adults than I hope they do already.

Best, Richmond.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear . . .

There I am fooling around setting up an "exam" for my "kiddiewinks"
when I discovered something quite unsuspected about intersect ;

So I have some code that goes something like this:

if intersect(img"A",img"B",4) then
   add 1 to SCORE
   set the vis of img "B" to false
end if

now I am making img "B"invisible to that the gameplayer doesn't
rack up points be performing a repeated intersect

BUT

the intersect CONTINUES registering with a hidden image

How about:

if the visible of img "B" and intersect(img "A", img "B", 4) then
    add 1 to SCORE
    set the vis of img "B" to false
end if

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
