I used to remember how to do this, but I can’t figure it out. I am creating an axe throwing mini-game. I have a circle called circle\_mc. Inside I renamed it again this time to hitTest\_btn. So, circle\_mc and hitTest\_btn. Both same, size shape. hitTest\_btn alpha is set to 0.

I have a Hatchet I drew for my cursor. When you move your mouse left and right, the hatchet movies left and right. Still with me? Ok. When I click on the circle, (which I am actually clicking on the hitTest\_btn nested inside circle\_mc), the cursor is hidden. On the hitTest\_btn actions, the cursor is hidden, and THIS is the part I can’t figure out: I need to call a movieClip from the library(hatchet\_mc), and I need it to attach to the hitTest\_btn whereever you click at. I was able to get the hatchet\_mc to attach just fine if I gave the hatchet exact x/y coordinates. I need the hatchet\_mc to attach to whereever you click at on the hitTest\_btn. Any ideas? Thanks!
