Issue With importing Cory's collisiondetectionkit

I have trouble getting Cory's Collisiondetectionkit to work. I have installed it, and put the com folder in a random folder where I keep all my files. It looks like this:

enter image description here

but I get an error when I export the code below (along with a bit more code)

Call to a possibly undefined method checkCollisions 
through a reference with static type Class

This is referring to the lines that says

if(CollisionLis...

below.

This is the code which I have imported it with:

import com.coreyoneil.collision.*;

and this is where I call it in the code:

if(oCharUse == true){
    if(CollisionList.checkCollisions(b1, oChar) == true){
        trace("collision")

}

The folder the com folder is located in looks like this:

Solution

  • You're using it wrong. The function will create an array of DisplayObjects that are colliding. For example, if b1 and oChar are colliding, trace(CollisionList.checkCollisions()[0].name); should trace b1 and trace(CollisionList.checkCollisions()[1].name); should trace oChar.

    With what you're trying to achieve, you could replace

    if(CollisionList.checkCollisions(b1, oChar) == true){

    with

    if(CollisionList.checkCollisions().indexOf(b1) && CollisionList.checkCollisions().indexOf(oChar)){
