basicly i have a scene where id like to check if any of the names in components array hits with positive\_mc - hitTest seemed to work fine while inside bracets was just a mc name but when its a string it dont seem to seems to return false… althought names are correct (check the trace output) .  
fla can be obtained from :  
fiasko.biz/help/index.fla

the code if u know what im dooing wrong already: stop();  
all\_components\_array = [“op1\_mc”, “op2\_mc”];  
/_needs a full list of movieClipp names used as components in movie as a array_/  
check\_mc.onRelease = function()  
{  
trace(“start”);  
i = 0;  
comarray\_max = all\_components\_array.length  
while (comarray\_max \> i)  
{  
var newtarget:String = all\_components\_array\*  
trace ("mc to be used for test: " + newtarget)  
if (positve\_mc.hitTest(newtarget))  
{  
debugarea\_text.text += “mc\_to hit =” + newtarget + " ";  
trace(“ok2”);  
} else {  
debugarea\_text.text += “mc not to hit =” + newtarget + " ";  
trace(“noup”);  
}  
i++;  
}  
};
