i have a game where there are multiple bullets being fired, and multiple ‘foo’ monsters being shot at. is there a simple way to do hitTesting for this, other than something horrible like a double-nested loop?

//here i create several bullets at any time  
newBullet=\_root.bullet\_mc.duplicateMovieClip(“bullet”+z,z);

//here i create several foo monsters at any time  
newFoo = \_root.foo\_mc.duplicateMovieClip(“foo”+f,f++);
