hi hello ,
I am trying to figure out a way to find weather one movieclips area on stage is equal or more than the other… 
.
I mean, ok here it goes, I have some movieclips on stage, circle shaped exactly speaking. Any of these Mcs.onMouseDown event adds another circle to the stage which is a very small circle , and as long as the mousedown event continues it grows in size from the center.The idea is to fill the onstage circle mc with exactly he same size circle.This i could do if the mouse had been clicked exactly in the center of the onstage circle by comparing the width and height of both (I guess havent started doing it yet).
I want to check if the scaling circle has exceeded the bounds of the onstage circle which is bound to happen more often as the user can mostly never point to the exact center of the onStage circle and as a result the circle is going to go out of the boundaries of the onstage one.
I have been racking my brains and me thinks that by creating a bitmap data of the onstage circle i could maybe find out when the being scaled circle bitmap stopped overlapping the onStage one. But i have no idea on how to do this ! It is jus something that came to mind from some example i saw somewhere but i jus cannot find it now .
If any of you guys have any ideas about where i can find similar examples oR If you could provide some insight in to how to go about doing this I would be very greatFull.
THank yOu
