hitTest method 2 and dynamic mc's...

[lesli_felix]

Hey..

Has anybody successfully used hitTest method 2 with a dynamically created mc?

syntax:

dynamicMovieClip.hitTest(x,y,true)

Or has anybody had problems trying it in the past?

Just wondering...

the x, y values used with hittest MUST be global ie relative to _root. if your mc (who's position your testing) is within another mc then you need to make the co-ordinates global. you can do this by using localToGlobal();

code:

---

var p = { x:0, y: 0 };

localToGlobal(p);

---

make sure this code is executed WITHIN the mc you want to get the co-ordinates of.

Oooh that could be it.

I'll check it out.

Yeah cheers. It was a scope problem.
It's happened a couple of times before but always with dynamic mc's. Not sure why it happened before, but this time it was just mouse coordinates not globalised.

Thanks.
