Thank you very much koenahn! You set me in the right direction. What i ended up doing is what i was going to do any way, i was just using hittest for testing.

I instead used a distance formula to calculate the distance between each individual meep:
Code:
		
		for(var j = 0; j < meepsArray.length; j++){
		Meep.distanceTMX = _level0["meep"+i]._x-_level0["meep"+j]._x;
		Meep.distanceTMY = _level0["meep"+i]._y-_level0["meep"+j]._y;
		Meep.distanceTotTM = Math.sqrt(Meep.distanceTMX * Meep.distanceTMX + Meep.distanceTMY * Meep.distanceTMY);
	
	if(Meep.distanceTotTM < 30 && Meep.distanceTotTM != 0){
trace("success")
}
}
If they're close enough, trace success. This code isn't perfect, in-fact, far from it. But it'll get me started on what i want in the end result. This was the part i was stuck on. Thanks a lot again! You helped me tremendously!
