I have a character who can walk around and swipe his sword, but I only want the target (t\_mc) to react when he’s swiping and not just touching it.

He is made up of several movie clips. The top one is on the main stage (move\_mc)  
The second has his moving actionscript (guy\_mc)  
The third has his moving animation and swiping movie clip (at\_mc) from frame 9

Thanks 🙂
