what i am trying to do is to detect a collision between an empty mc and  
an mc allready in stage.  
the empty mc is a line, which I draw with the mouse. when this line hits the other mc I want the colission to be detected. so far it doesnt work properly.  
the colision is being detected even if the line that i draw, doesnt hit the other mc. does it have to do with the properties of the empty mc, or the hittest method has to be changed???Here is the code:  
[COLOR=Red]\_root.mc.onEnterFrame=function(){  
if(\_root.mc.hitTest(\_root.line)){  
thingstohappen;}[/COLOR]
