BlaBlaBla hittest [HELLLP]

[tongxn]

Hi, I am developing a mouse stillness test
I have a hittest area on my stage, named trace. This area is erased into 2. so that mouse could run between the 2 area with out touching them. however, I done something stupid to warn the user the mouse touched the Hit area:

//A dynamic textbox is there on the stage named results

onClipEvent(load)
  If(Trace.Hittest.True)
     setProperty("results", "Hit!")
  }eles{
     setProperty("results", "safe")
}

Anything gone wrong? the Hittest didn't work a single bit...
Regards,

try this

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
  If(Trace.Hittest.True)
     setProperty("results", "Hit!")
  }eles{
     setProperty("results", "safe")
}

your code was riddled with errors, misspellings, and improper usage of methods. in this code i assume you are using a dynamic text field (resultsTextBox) to display results. also, this checks constantly whether the mouse touches Trace, instead of only checking once.

Trace.onEnterFrame = function(){
  If(Trace.hitTest(Trace._parent._xmouse, Trace._parent._ymouse, true)) {
     resultsTextBox.text = "Hit!"
  }else{
     resultsTextBox.text = "safe"
}
}
