MX 2004 hittest trouble

[assenoost]

Hi everyone,

Hope you can help me out again:

Im trying to get the hittest to work in flash mx 2004 but i get stuck.

i have 2 movieclips: ball and triangles

the movieclip triangles has 2 triangles inside of it
those 2 triangles stand a little bit apart so there is an empty space between the shapes.

What i try to do is that when the ball hits one of the triangles
it adds 1 point to score..

it works but the hittest reacts on the whole clip and not on the shape of the 2 triangles ?!?!

can i set the hittest so that it only counts 1 point if it really touches the shape ?!

this is the code i have so far but then it reacts on the whole triangles movie clip and not on the shapes inside of it

ball.onEnterFrame = function () {
  if (this.hitTest(_root.triangles)){
	  _root.score +=1 ;
  }
}

I thought i simple:

if (this.hitTest(_root.triangles))

would work but thats not the case, i also tried to read through the actionscript dictionary but that doesn't make much sense to me

another problem is that when ball hits the triangle and it is to long on the clip the hittest keeps counting so score goes like 1,2,3,4,5 instead of only adding one point

hope someone can help me

thanx in advange,

Assenoost
