Simply, I want to be able to initiate hitTest actions with a duplicated movie clip, or even be able to do any action with a duplicated clip.

I’ve been trying things like **if(\_root.mc1.hitTest(“mc2”+i))** or **if(\_root.mc1.hitTest(\_root.eval(“mc2” + i)))** but cant get it to work right… I know I’m missing something.
