Please dont call us lazy. But all you want is the ball to hit only the corner piece. I am not sure ---

coming to the board and on your 2nd post you call us lazy… Now THAT’S not the way to get help around here. As far as your problem, I honestly don’t 100% understand it, so please try to expand a little more as to what you need, and we’ll do our best. ---

Lmao it wasn’t an instult.I use to post here a while ago and i know how helpfull people can be so im sorry if i hurt ur feelings :(. Also bascially with hit.test u have 2 types a one that uses X,Y Cords and flag shapes and one that is just 2 movie clips. But the 2movie clips u cant use flag Shapes so it puts a box around ur shape so when the 2 object colide its really only colliding with the Box outliine. And thats my problem. In the meantime im just gonna use a getaround to sove my problem.:ninja: ---

so, why not establish the center point of the mc you want it to hit and run it to x,y coordinates with actionscript instead? ---
