2D Game colision response - vector

Question

So I am writing a game, but I have come to the part where i need to do some collision response, and I have been stumped. I have an algorithm that finds the objects collision angle, and collision depth meaning how much the two objects over lap. I understand what i want to do and that is to find a perpendicular vector to the collision angle and push back the object that is colliding by it's collision depth, but I just can't seem to write it correctly.
Here is the code I'm working with for the time being.
var collision:Object = collisions[i];
var angle:Number = collision.angle;
var overlap:Number = collision.overlapping.length;
trace(overlap);
trace(angle);
var moveX = Math.cos(angle) * overlap;
var moveY = Math.sin(angle) * overlap;
obj2.x -= moveX;
obj2.y += moveY;
basically I just want the object that is colliding with the wall to stop when it hits it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I worked on elastic collision with flash as3 once.I tried to fix overlap a lot of.But i could'nt solved it completely.They did not overlapping normally but if you forced enought, they overlapping.
if you want look at my work, i uploaded my codes.You can download and look at my code.
And if you solve this problem completely, please tell me solution.
swf(with friction, it's more problem) : http://nafiz.in/collision/carpisma.swf
swf(without friction, it's little problem than first.) : http://nafiz.in/collision/carpisma_surtunmesiz.swf
q : add a ball at mouse location.
w, a,s,d : controll #1 ball.
Click with mouse without relase and move mouse and relase. You selected balls.
When you press space, selected balls will go mouse location.

i hope you solve.

Answer 2

So after a few hours of tweaking the code, I came up with the solution that works well. here is my new code:
public function Colisions(obj1,obj2) {
var collisions:Array=MyCollision.checkCollisions();
for (var i = 0; i < collisions.length; i++) {
var collision:Object=collisions[i];
var angle:Number=collision.angle;
var overlap:Number=collision.overlapping.length;
// finds the amount in x and y coordinates to move the ball back, and it devides overlap by 20 so that the ball does not jump as much.
var moveX=Math.cos(angle)*(overlap/20);
var moveY=Math.sin(angle)*(overlap/20);
// sets the ball to it's original location before the colision.
obj2.x=obj2.x-moveX;
obj2.y=obj2.y-moveY;
}
}
just as a side note I am using CDK which stands for the collision detection toolkit as the algorithm that finds the collisions and the info associated with the collisions.
