[HELP] Hittest on Rotating Shapes /w Mouse

[thebangzats]

HELP!

I've googled for hours and found nothing. I did find a lot but none involved hittesting with a mouse cursor.

Here goes:
I'm trying to make a simple maze game, so far it works, I die when I hit squares and rectangles, but I die incorrectly when hitting a rotating rectangle.

Because it rotates, the bounding box is larger and a normal hittest sees bounding boxes, meaning it won't work.

Could you help?
Make it so that my mouse can go near the rotating rectangle without dying until I actually touch the actual rectangle instead of the bounding box.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

what is the code you are using? are you using an event listener. or are you doing a hittest to an object on the mouse? an event listener might be useful in this situation, place it on a movieclip inside the clip housing the rotating rectangle. I do not know how accurate this is, but look into Add.eventListener.

also, a rollover might work.

Just the simplest one, I'm not on my home computer right now so I can't type it here, but it doesn't really matter what code I'm using now, I can change it completely for the sake of being able to hittest on irregular shapes.

And no, it's not a hittest to an object on the mouse, the object IS the mouse.

And no, just making it a button and using rollover doesn't work either.

So yeah, anything that works, I'd love that.

EDIT:
Okay, this is the hittest for the wall, which is stationary

on (rollOver) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("Menu");
}

And this to the various non-stationary objects, including the exit to the next level

stop();

onEnterFrame = function ()
{
	if (gate.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))
	{
		_root.gotoAndPlay("lvl2");
	}
	if (sqr1.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))
	{
		_root.gotoAndPlay("Menu");
	}
	if (sqr2.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))
	{
		_root.gotoAndPlay("Menu");
	}
	if (sqr3.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))
	{
		_root.gotoAndPlay("Menu");
	}
};
