hey let me say i really enjoy the site and the forum…some great info on here

* * *

my question is this: i want to import a custom image as a mc so when you click on it something happens…like:

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hit);  
function hit(e:MouseEvent):void{  
trace(“CLICKED”);  
}

the problem is when i import the image as a mc the “clickable” area is a sqare but i want it to be just the shape itself - it’s a complex shape so i can’t draw it in flash…comprendo? thanks in advance
