Answer 1

I'll try to explain. When You click "Down" or "Up" hero (box_MC) collide with both doors "Top_Door" and "Bottom_Door". Inside "bang" function at first checking collision with "Bottom_Door", so, hero always go down (.y += 100) and second condition (Top_Door) never will be true. How to fix this? Add variable var lastAction:String;. This variable will store last action: "up" or "down". Inside "down_MC_P" function initialize this variable by "down". Inside "up_MC_P" — "up". Next, replace the first condition to this if (box_MC.hitTestObject(cycle[i].Bottom_Door) && lastAction == "down") and second: if(box_MC.hitTestObject(cycle[i].Top_Door) && lastAction == "up"). That's all.
