hitTest vs loadMovie

programming flash
1

Hello there! :slight_smile:

Once again I need some help: Is it IMPOSSIBLE to use hitTest in a external swf when loading it into my main movie!? Or is there a way around and still using hitTest?

Heres a simple example:

Main Movie:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("loader.swf", "container");
container._x = 20 ;
container._y = 20 ;

Loader:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {		
        if (_root.cake.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
             trace("mouse intersects cake");   
        }
}

The loader.swf works fine on it’s own, but when loaded into my main movie nothing happens!?..
