aBoo:Boolean = hitTest value?

Is it possible to have a Boolean value, which depends on a hitTest?

I am trying to think of something like this:
aBoo:Boolean = this.hitTest(root.circle)

or Is there any other way?

Thx

Why not just:

Code:

---

if(this.hitTest(something)) {
Hit = true;
}

---

Goofy idea! thanks!
