OK…
lets say i made a movie,
then double clicked that movie.
while inside that movie i created another movie.
I want to hitTest the movie inside the other movie instance.
Hope this makes it easier…
Can anyone help now?

Well not really…
I think your looking for movieClip.globalToLocal or movieClip.localToGlobal functions then do hitTest. But if they are two completely different movies mabey xml?!?!
Wish I could help ya more, good luck!

Ummmm…
Lemme try and get this straight… You wanna perform an action to a movie inside of a movie only after clicking that first movie?!
d00d… It can be done… But I think you are just overly troubling yourself with this whole thing… Or you are not explaining right…
You can try…
if(\_root.MC.hitTest(\_root.MC.insideClip)){}
Maybe that’ll work out for you? Don’t know man… 🙂
