Hittest for duplicated movieclips

[abel408]

Could someone please tell me how to have a hittest for duplicated movieclips. I got it to detect a hit from the original movieclip, but not the ones that spawn off of it. My function renames the original movieclip+1. For example: flying_mc, flying_mc1, flying_mc2 ect...

Thanks

Can you post the code that you current are using?

yea, sorry

//initialize counter
mycount = 0;
//function to create multiple movieclips from single movie clip
function createFlyingMC() {
	if (mycount<800) {
		flying_mc.duplicateMovieClip("flying_mc"+mycount, getNextHighestDepth());
		randomX = 5000*Math.random();
		randomY = 25*Math.random()+150;
		eval("flying_mc"+mycount)._x = randomX;
		eval("flying_mc"+mycount)._y = randomY;
		


		
		mycount++;
	} else {
		clearInterval(ID);
		for(var i = 0;i<10;i++){
			removeMovieClip(eval("flying_mc"+i));
			}
	}
}
//function to periodically call another function
ID = setInterval(createFlyingMC, 300);

and my hittest looks like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	if (hitTest(_root.flying_mc.bigBomb_mc)) {
          trace("Collision Detected");
	} else {
          trace("No Collision");
	}
}

Which is in my jet movieclip. The jet is supposed to dodge the bombs.

I've been working on this attached file for the past 20 hours straight. no joke. I haven't had any sleep and I have been stuck on this hittest for the past 16 hours. I am very frustrated.

Sorry I'm a bit grumpy

Sorry, I can't open your file, I've only got Flash MX 2004.
But, I made a dummy file, applied your code to it and modified it.
Maybe you can adapt the code in the attached file...
