Ok this problem is really starting to get annoying ☹

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.line.circle.dot.hitTest(\_root.mc)) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“end”);  
}  
}  
[/AS]

That hittest performs when the two blue edgings around the two objects intersect. So it hittests just a little before it’s supposed to. What I need to know and can’t figure out is how to get it to Hit test when the actual objects interesect and not their borders.Thanks in advance :).
