hello,  
I’ve a movie clip of a circlular i’ve imported as a png then changed to a movie clip. i have a hit test to check if something is in contact with the circular object. The hit test works but it works on the square bounding box around the object. do i need to create a hit area to have it work only on the circular object. how would i do this im lost.
