I am going crazy (localToGlobal)

programming flash
1

Ok so I understand localToGlobal, i have used localToGlobal, but for some reason i can not get localToGlobal to work on a particular problem, and I am not sure why.

Here is my code:


package{
    
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.geom.*;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    
    public class HitTest extends MovieClip{
        public function HitTest():void{
            var hit:Boolean = false;
            var floor:MovieClip = MovieClip(cont_mc.square_mc.parent);
            
            var point:Point = new Point(floor.point_mc.x, floor.point_mc.y);
            trace("point inside floor: "+point);

            floor.localToGlobal(point);
            var hT:Boolean = cont_mc.square_mc.hitTestPoint(point.x, point.y);
            
            trace("point relative to Stage: "+point);
            trace("does it hit the gray square?: "+hT);
        }
    }
}

traces:


point inside floor: (x=100, y=100)
point relative to Stage: (x=100, y=100)
does it hit the gray square?: true

nevermind the floor var i know it’s not needed, but anyway i have cont_mc on stage with a center point of about 300x and 100y, and inside i place square_mc to left of the center and point_mc to the right so they are not touching, but hit test says they do hit and the globalToLocal is not doing anything??? i am sure it’s something dumb i am doing, i just need a slap in the face :crying:
