hitTest in a custom area

programming flash
1

hi there!
well…i´ve just checked the help files but couldnt find an answer for this, so i hope anyone can help me out here…

i have a custom shape inside a movieClip, and i want to detect when another clip hits it.
but the really strange thing is that when i publish my fla, the hitTest detects the hits as if my shape is a rectangle (only looks for the width and height of the movieclip), not the drawing i did…

still with me? thanks! :smiley:

i tried cashAsBitmap, aplied a mask to the movieclip with the shape, but nothing worked… anyone ever had this problem?
i have no idea for this issue…

thanks in advance!
cheers

hi there youll probobly have to make a custom hitTest for that is what hittest does it draws a rectangle around the shape according to it hieght and with i havnt been able to find a way around this so you mey want to look up custom hittests.

yeah!
finally a post!

Once i get the answer ill post it here. looks like no one ever had this problem… :frowning:
so far, the way i found to bypass this issue was creating LOTS of movieclips to fill the shape…but this is not a good way to do it…

thanks for the reply cooldude88! ill check it out!
