[F8] Character Colision - Doesn't Work

Well, hello to you all and happy new year!

I'm creating a little game for a learning center. And the game consist of a character walking to other characters to learn more about them. Its a little village and everybody is there to learn. Ok, enough of that...

EDIT: THE GAME IS NOT TILE BASED, ITS VECTOR BASED, SO I HAVE BIG AND SMALL SPRITES ON SCREEN. WHAT MAKES THE COLLISION IS A BOX INSIDE THE SPRITES, BOX NAMED COLISION FOR ALL THE SPRITES ON STAGE.

ALSO, THE SPRITES ON STAGE ARE NAMED "Sprite1, Sprite2, Sprite3, etc" EXEPT FOR THE "player".

So far, I made the character move and go everywhere... by using this code.
I have a controller that calls a function()

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.detectKeys();
}


Now, after that happens, my detectkeys(); is as follow


Code:
function detectKeys() {
//---------------------------- Colision start
for (var i in _root.MainScrollerMC) {
if (typeof (_root.MainScrollerMC[i]) == "movieclip") {

if(i == "player"){
//trace("Do Nothing its the player! - " + i);
}else{
if(_root.MainScrollerMC.player.colision.hitTest(_root.MainScrollerMC[i].colision)){
//trace("colision with: " + i);
PlayerColision = 1;
break;
}else{
//trace("Not Colided you can move");
PlayerColision = 0;
break;

}
}
}
}
//------------------------------ Colision ends
// Send the parameters to move the character
var ob = _root.MainScrollerMC.player;
var keyPressed = false;

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
keyPressed = _root.moveChar(ob, 1, 0);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
keyPressed = _root.moveChar(ob, -1, 0);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
keyPressed = _root.moveChar(ob, 0, -1);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
keyPressed = _root.moveChar(ob, 0, 1);
}

// walk animation
if (!keyPressed) {
ob.clip.char.gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
ob.clip.char.play();

}
}


Ok, so far everything is working! So the characters is asking to the function named moveChar(characterMC, dirX, dirY) if it can move it. and the function is as follow:


Code:
function moveChar(ob, dirx, diry) {
// Variables used in this function
var MainScroller = _root.MainScrollerMC;
var CharPlayer = _root.MainScrollerMC.player;
var Speed = _root.Speed;

// going up
if (diry == -1) {
// Player Face Direction
CharPlayer.gotoAndStop("back");
// no wall in the way, move on
CharPlayer._y = CharPlayer._y-Speed;
// scroll the map
MainScroller._y = MainScroller._y+Speed;
}
// if going down
if (diry == 1) {
// Player Face Direction
CharPlayer.gotoAndStop("front");
// no wall in the way, move on
CharPlayer._y = CharPlayer._y+Speed;
// scroll the map
MainScroller._y = MainScroller._y-Speed;
}
// if going left
if (dirx == -1) {
// Player Face Direction
CharPlayer.gotoAndStop("left");
// no wall in the way, move on
CharPlayer._x = CharPlayer._x-Speed;
// scroll the map
MainScroller._x = MainScroller._x+Speed;
}
// if going right
if (dirx == 1) {
// Player Face Direction
CharPlayer.gotoAndStop("right");
// no wall in the way, move on
CharPlayer._x = CharPlayer._x+Speed;
// scroll the map
MainScroller._x = MainScroller._x-Speed;
}


// Refresh the screen
_root.UpdateScreen();

// End Function
return (true);
}


Ok, at this point the character moved and everything is working. My problem is that I don't know how to make him stop, when the colision boxes inside each spriteoverlap each other.

I have managed to crash the computer several times and I have also stopped permanently the character. I mean, after it touches a colision box... it will stick to it for good. Is like because it is touching, doesn't le go.

A little help here.. Thanks!
