Simple hitest question

Hi there!

I have always used the "if(object.hitTest(object2)){};" hitTest BUT;

I am workin on a platform game and I want to use the one which tests the shape rather than bounding box. I have no idea how to use it. I have tried the following;

if(this.hitTest(_root.mov._x,_root.mov._y,true){};

if(_root.mov.hitTest(this._x,this._y,true){};

if(_root.mov.hitTest(x,y,true){};

none of these have worked for me

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Thanks

if(this.hitTest(_root.mov._x,_root.mov._y,true){};

if(_root.mov.hitTest(this._x,this._y,true){};

if(_root.mov.hitTest(x,y,true){};

All of these are wrong, try one of these, depending on the desired effect:

if (this.hitTest(_root.mov._x, _root.mov._y, true)) {
trace('Collision detected!');
}

if (_root.mov.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)) {
trace('Collision detected!');
}

The problem was just a single )
