Not sure I understand...? In flash 5 movieclip objects have a member function

called hitTest. There are two forms of this function:


bool hitTest( x, y, shapeFlag );

bool hitTest( target );


The first tests against a point, the second against the bounding boxes of

two movie clips. If you have the beta you can find this in the ActionScript

reference by searching for "hitTest".
