I have had very similar problems. Hittest seems to use a masking layer and objects hidden by a mask as part of the movie clip object. I don't know if there is a way around this or not.

No help, but you are not the only one who has been troubled by this.

i found a way around it wat i did was put a white movieclip in a layer behind the masked clip that way i could make the illusion of a line, all i had to do then is copy the actionscript for the white block.

Dont know if this helps you but it helped me, still thanks for the reply though
