Static object bounce

[shitashi]

Me and my friends are making a game together for school.
We wanted to make a game like the game "kitten cannon".
(If you don't know what that is, google it.)

But we have a problem.
We can't figure out how to make a static object to bounce when it hits something (in this case, when the thing being launched hits the ground).

Any help would be really appreciated.
Note: And this is to make a STATIC object to bounce, so we can't just simply put it to bounce.

Have you tried using the pinball movement for the launched object? That might be easier than to code your own projectile movement with a static object. The pinball movement is not perfect, but it might be enough in your case.

Popcorn is right, or there is a Bouncing Ball Type, Why not use that?

or.. use the Box2D extension.

In this case you can use 2D physics applied to your "kitten" object.

And you're go.

EDIT: Be careful if the Box2D physics extensions is not supported by Flash runtime of MMF2.

Worst case scenario... if you absolutely have to keep the static version, you could always clone the static object and make a bouncing version... and then when your static object collides with the ground, just hide/destroy it, and generate the bouncing version in it's place. Then do the opposite if you need to get the static object back.

It's a little switcheroo trick which works in some situations. =)
