How do I have hit test activate only when the actual images touch, and not just the blue boxes?.. :hat:

[AS]if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)){  
//do this  
}[/AS]

Make your shape a movie clip symbol, then run that code onEnterFrame. Where “//do this” is you put your actions that you want to happen if the mouse hits the shape.
