hitTestPoint doesn't work

programming flash

Hi there!

I am trying to get hitTestPoint to work and can’t figure it out. I want the top left part of my chart (chartMC.ChartSection1) to change to blue when the red dot (hitDot) is on it. Attached you will find my file.

import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.geom.Point;

var chartHitOn:String = “0xb4c3e1”;
var chartHitOff:String = “0xffffff”;
var hitDot:MovieClip = new chartDot;
var myColor1:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
hitDot.x = 60;
hitDot.y = -145;

chartMC.addChild(hitDot);
var globalPos:Point = new Point(hitDot.x, hitDot.y);
globalPos = hitDot.localToGlobal(globalPos);

trace(globalPos);

if(chartMC.ChartSection1.hitTestPoint(globalPos.x,globalPos.y,true))
{
myColor1 = chartMC.ChartSection1.transform.colorTransform;
myColor1.color = parseInt(chartHitOn);
chartMC.ChartSection1.transform.colorTransform = myColor1;
}
else
{
myColor1 = chartMC.ChartSection1.transform.colorTransform;
myColor1.color = parseInt(chartHitOff);
chartMC.ChartSection1.transform.colorTransform = myColor1;
}
