a real hitTest ?

[CharlesFK]

I need real hitTest function that would use the real shape and the the bounding of the mc.

Anyone know how to create a real hitTest function ?

I create a little swf showing what I DON'T what it to do. The black box around the purple box is the bounding box. I want the ball to hit the purple box not the bounding box.

mymc.hitTest( x, y, True );

mymc would be your purple box.
x and y would be coordinates of the ball.

Actually, this is for the center of your ball, if you want to detect against the balls edge, you need to add/reduce its radius to the x/y of its center.
