hitTest and positioning problems

Yo,

This is the third thread I’ve written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I’m not sure if there is a solution to this problem.

I can’t really explain my problem, so once again I’ve included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip’s borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).

For the animation problem, I’ve already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don’t know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that? Thanks.
