Hi, again,

I hadn’t ckecked the forum in a couple of days and managed to get the hitTest working in my application. It works, but only one way: the user in clipA attaches the movieclip, but the other or others, won’t.  
I would need to update the move somehow updating something but, I don’t understand much, because the avatar in the second client does move to the choords as they are updated.  
Does anyone know about electroserver? I cannot get the sendMove method working either…

var users:Object = {};  
var clip\_arr:Array = new Array();  
var clipMan:Array = new Array();  
var clipWoman:Array = new Array();
