Colliding Objects Problem

Hi there,
Just getting back into GameSalad and I am having a problem which I have spent a while trying to solve...

I am trying to make a ball actor collide and bounce with a angled ramp actor. Problem is that when the ball reaches the ramp it collides with the square shape around the ramp meaning it will never come into contact with the ramp itself. I have made sure that the collision models for each actor are set properly; ball = circle and ramp = square and I am using a .png file format for each graphic so there is no background around each graphic...
Any ideas on how to solve or get around this problem?

Thanks,
Cameron

    A way to fix this might be to redo the graphic so that the business end of the ramp falls along the edge of the graphic. Then when it is placed in the actor, the ramp edge will be along the side of the actor. You can rotate the actor so the 'ramp' is placed correctly.
