about hitTest

[paopei]

i have problem about hitTest method. i have ever attached this method to a symbol, it wouldn't work well. even it didn't work at all.
is there anyone can explain this.

:nerd:
i have solved it in present.
i initially used this method
mymovieclip.hitTest(targetmovie){
}

after i 've read a tutorial from the site i revealed that those script i wrote was wrong. the mistake is i typed '." (dot) before hitTest.
the correct one is not dot but comma.

so the script becomes
mymovieclip, hitTest(targetmovie){
}

i have tried it and it worked !!!!!!!
for addition i used flash mx. :ninja:

What the hell??? That's really weird!! As far as I know, it's not supposed to work with commas! It's like... An illegal operation for Flash! Or could it be that it's different in MX? (I use 5)

:P I had the same reaction! I think that what he meant is that he did
if (movieClip,hittest(otherClip)...Which is legal.
