Its a gr8 tutorial for how can we use vectors instead of trigonometry for motions and collisions

There's a typo on step 3bis:
...the Y-component of Y...
instead of
...the Y-component of v...
but great work ;).

I fixed the typo. Thanx.

Thanks for the great set of tutorials, very helpful!
One issue I've been trying to solve is dealing with walls that the ball can hit from either side. The direction of the normal throws things off. What I did was added an else after the 'if (this.walls[i].n.dot(speedVec) < 0) { ' block in move().
Instead of var vec:Vector = this.walls[i].n.getInverted().cross(this.radius); in the else I have it as var vec:Vector = this.walls[i].n.cross(this.radius);
This seems to work, but I'm worried I've recreated the bugs you addressed in demo4, and I'm guessing there might be a better solution out there.

do you got a tool to convert a drawed wallshape to this wall array that needed?

First I draw the shape in Illustrator and save the file in Illustrator 8 format. Open the file in a text editor, scroll to the bottom and you'll find something like
(Layer 1) Ln
... more stuff here ...
24 803 m
69 828 l
108 775 l
31 757 l
24 803 l
The numbers in front are the X and Y coordinates. 'm' means moveTo, 'l' means lineTo. I copy and paste these codes, save them as a string in actionscript and parse the string.
