Hey there. I found the tutorial on irregular shape hitTests. I am wondering if there is a way using this method to establish that the dummy clips are hitting a specific clip, as opposed to just any other movie clip.

The problem is, the clip that will be doing the testing will always be touching at least one other clip (the background is one giant clip). I need it to react to touching a _specific_ clip.
