I require a accurate hitTest for my movie.

I have 2 odd shaped movie clips, a “ball” and a “square” (with a bit cut out).

I need to know if the two movies are over lapping. The problem is I can find this out using the following AS

[AS][SIZE=2]//on the ball movie clip  
onClipEvent(enterFrame)  
{   
if (this.hitTest(\_root.square))  
{  
trace(“hits the square”);  
}  
}[/SIZE] [/AS]

When I do this it gives the trace when overlapping the Binding Box and I need it to be very exact over the actual shape and contours of the Movie Clip.

Your help would be very much appreciated.:h:
