Moving a dynamically added MC on a hitTestPoint

1

Hi,
I was reading through one of the tutorials from kirupa found here http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/movieclips_classes_AS3_pg2.htm

I got a lot out of it =]
but when i tried modifying the code to add a hitTest on it, it became “weird”
here is my .as file
[COLOR=Red]package {
import flash.display.;
import flash.events.;
import flash.geom.Point;

public class Sq extends MovieClip {
    var radians =0;
    var speed =0;
    var radius =0;
    var randomValue=0;

    public function Sq() {
        speed =.01+.5*Math.random();
        radius =2+10*Math.random();
        randomValue= Math.random()*1;

        this.x = Math.random()*550;
        this.y = Math.random()*400;
        this.rotation = Math.random()*360;
        this.scaleX = this.scaleY = randomValue;
        this.alpha = 1-randomValue;
        this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateSq);
    }
    [COLOR=Blue]function rotateSq(e:Event) {
        if (this.hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY,true)) {
            radians+=speed;
            //trace("test works");
            this.x+=Math.round(radius*Math.cos(radians));
            this.y+=Math.round(radius*Math.sin(radians));
        }else{
            trace("nope");
        }
    }
}[/COLOR]

}[/COLOR]

the effect i’m trying to accomplish is when the user rolls over one of the MC’s added
by the following function inside the .fla

[COLOR=Red]function AddSq() {
for (var i:int =0; i<50; i++) {
var newSq:Sq = new Sq();
this.addChild(newSq);
}
}
AddSq();[/COLOR]

is that the MC(which is a square) starts moving in a circle. but it seems that the hit area is in a different location and the square is in another.

is there something i’m doing wrong?
Thanks!

never mind, i figured it out. just had to use target and localToGlobal.

function rotateSq(e:Event) {
            var whichSq:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target);
            var local:Point = new Point(whichSq.mouseX,whichSq.mouseY);
            if (whichSq.hitTestPoint(stage.mouseX,stage.mouseY,true)) {
                radians+=speed;
                //trace("test works");
                whichSq.x+=Math.round(radius*Math.cos(radians));
                whichSq.y+=Math.round(radius*Math.sin(radians));
            }
        }
