hi,  
how can I have the name of the target object, even unknown with the hitTestObect? the function is working when i am giving the object name as parameter to the function, but i cant figure out how to find the name of the hited object…

something like this:  
if(car.hitTestObject(unknown))  
{  
unknown.alpha = 0.5;  
}  
thanks
