game aspects

This is a screen shot of the game i am using for reference. I have come over a couple of problems during the make of my flash game. For example when to cars move from lane to lane the angle of the car view changes, this will be to difficult to do with out a 3D model. So I think I am going to make to game from a top view to make to game easier to make. Also I am going to make it 2D birds eye view to give it a retro feel. For the game I am going to make a scoring system go up during the time that you play, so the longer you last the more point you gain.

Array in flash

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

var blockArray:Array=new Array();
// create array called block array


for (var i:int = 0; i <15; i++){
// will loop cube 15 times
var cube:MovieClip = new box();
//brings in box from library
cube.x=Math.random()*550
//places cube from library along width of stage
cube.y=Math.random()*400
//places cube from library along hieght of stage
addChild(cube);
// duplicates cube from library

blockArray[i]=cube
// numbers the cubes
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkhit);
//listen to stage on every frame
function checkhit(myevent:Event):void{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 15; i++){
if (blockArray[i].hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY,true)){
// if any of the cubes get hit by the mouse in any direction (x,y) and if mouse hit whole object or reg point
blockArray[i].alpha=.3;
}// if box get hit make box transparent
}
}

hit test

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkhit);
//listen to stage on every frame
function checkhit(myevent:Event):void{

cube1.x+=3
cube2.x-=3


if (cube1.hitTestPoint(cube2.x,cube2.y,true)){
// if any of the cubes get hit by the mouse in any direction (x,y) and if mouse hit whole object or reg point
cube2.alpha=.3;
}// if box get hit make box transparent

}

code demo 2 library placement

var moveDown:Boolean = false

var ship:MovieClip = new Ship();

addChild(ship);






stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveShip);

function moveShip(event:Event){

if (moveRight==true){

}
if (moveLeft==true){
ship.x-=3;
}

if (moveUp==true){

}

if (moveDown==true){
ship.y+=3;
}
}

// listen to keyboard being pressed
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,pressKey);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,stopShip);
// if not pressed set move ship to false
function stopShip(myevent:KeyboardEvent):void{
moveLeft=false;
moveRight=false;

moveDown=false;
}
//if pressed move ship to true
function pressKey(myevent:KeyboardEvent):void{

}

    if(myevent.keyCode==Keyboard.UP){
moveUp=true;


}

    if(myevent.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN){
