Hello… I’m just wondering if hitTest can be affected by the changing x,y coordinates or the changing scale of the parent clips. My platform engine doesn’t seem to work everytime I try to add a script to a parenting clip (of a playable character and a computer character) that changes the x and y values of that clip as well as the scale (simulating a camera that keeps both characters in focus).

Any help would be appreciated…
