Issue / bug when trying to use "hitTestPoint" with scrollRect

i am making use of hitTestPoint with shapeFlag set to true…

my project works fine…

but once i make use of scrollRect to add some scrolling functionality to my project, the hitTestPoint doesnt work as it should…

ive read an article about this: http://jobemakar.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-hittest-behaves-with-scrollrect.html

i am using Flash CS3… does this bug still exist in CS4??

any workarounds?? this sucks!!!
