Bust a move like game need help!

Hello everybody, i make a little game like Bust a Move (or Frozen Bobble)

but I have one big problem :

How to detect a group of balls and check if 3 or more balls of the same type are connecting to destroy that group of balls ? <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thank in advance and sorry for my school English I'm French <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Check this out:

There's an example by — Basically, the same technique can be applied for detection of connected bubbles.

1) while loop + scaling the bubble and chek if scaled bubble overlpas another bubbles of the same color, than scale them and check again untill it doesn not overlap. This is a sort of recursion/flood fill.

Thank you, i understand <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Edit: No, finally I don't totally understand:

On the sample capx project, I don't see where the detection of 3 balls (or more) is located ? <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thank in advance for your reply,

and don't forget I'm french and is more simple for me if you send me an example project rather than reading a long explanation in English ^^

I'm not null in English but the world of video games is complex and an example is more comprehensive <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Up please i really need help for this :/

There is no example of this combined with a bubble shooter example that I know of but this topic has some general info on a way to pick a chain of objects.
