Action Script Dictionary example.
if( _root.ball, hittest (_root.square) ){
}
However what happens if you have ‘n’ amount of clips.
how to you get hittest to == true if (_root.???) could be anything.
thanks.
how bout you just have all n objects hitTest with that one object? 
probably not very efficient, but it’ll get the ball rolling.
ok still need help.
Say I was to do a snow flake scene. But if 2 flakes collied they break into 4.
The problem is I dont know which ones will touch, and there could be 100 different flakes. flake1, flake2, flake99.
I duplicate a flake movie giving each its own name.
i = i + 1;
duplicateMovieClip (_root.flake, “flake” + i, i);
now that I could have 50 flakes on the screen with different names, how can I hit test them all.
if (_root.flake n, hitTest( flake n) )
I dont have a clue.

OK I found this asteroids game.
somewhere in it should be my answer, I think…
did u ever find an answer?
I had a problem with that one making a game that has been on here a couple times before I put it up (beacause I couldn’t get it to work) However, on the end of this post, there is a zip file with a game called Galaxia on it that uses hitTest on duplicated movieClips. Basically the hitTest asks for an array - I don’t do arrays yet, but your answers in that game:
Hope that helps, it’s a little out of my understanding right now.
