When my Movie Clip “Fire” collides with the MC “Wall” i want the variable “Points” to increase by one. And not as in

if (\_root.fire.\_y == \_root.wall.\_y && \_root.fire.\_x == \_root.wall.\_x) {  
\_root.points++  
}

Because then they have to be on the exact same coordinates. Wall, however, is a pretty long Mc and i want the same thing to happen no matter where the fire hits it
