HitTestObject between a Jelly and a character - actionscript-3

Question

I have a code for a character and a Jelly.
Character:
up_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
character.y-=10;
})
down_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
character.y+=10;
})
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
character.x+=10;
})
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
character.x-=10;
})
Jelly:
var JellyHitted:Boolean;
function hitJelly(e: Event):void {
if (character.hitTestObject(Jelly1)) {
JellyHitted = true;
character.gotoAndStop(7);
if (character.electrocuted.currentFrame == 30) {
character.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
else{
JellyHitted = false;
}
Jelly Test
Any ideas how to keep a character until it hits the jelly?

Answer 1

Ok, I cannot test it, but the idea is the following:
function hitJelly(e:Event):void
{
if (character.hitTestObject(Jelly1))
{
character.gotoAndStop(7);
// Now you need to monitor the animation for a while.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onElectrcuted);
}
}
// Electrocution handler.
function onElectrocuted(e:Event):void
{
// I assume you want animation to end, rather then to reach a certain frame.
if (character.electrocuted.currentFrame >= character.electrocuted.totalFrames)
{
// Stop monitoring.
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onElectrcuted);
// Return to normal.
character.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
