I understand heaps of the bable with Flash MX but hitTest is one that I realy want to use but can never get my head around it!!!

I have searched and read others Threds for hours, tryed out heaps and have got no where.

Could someone give me some help…please…

```
 If you want somewhere to start with me, I's love to start with two movie clips, one movie clip is controlled by the key board ( I know how to do that ) and the other is a stationary box. I want to know how when the controlled clip moves up to it it cannot go into or through...

     Thanks heaps....
