npc dilema

[howling shooter]

hiya people
i am working on an rpg and working on npcs, now i know i could use some distance stuff and code but i would prefer hitests, i have tried to get this to work with a hittest inside a movieclip but with no luck, so could somebody change this so that the movieclip changes the box movieclip to its second frame on touch insdie a movieclip, once somebody has done that i will mention them in the credits of my game :)
thank you :p:

I'm using flash 8.

However, you problably need something like this

if (_root.movieclip.hitTest(_root.movieclipContainer. movieclipInside)) {

[howling shooter]

well how would i get it the other way round, so its the hittest that is on the movieclip on the inside that makes the box movieclip change, do you have any idea how to do that ?

[ArmoredSandwich]

I have no idea what you are talking about :S

[howling shooter]

well you know that the code would be placed on the main character for what you surgested, im trying to find something that would be placed on the npc
so if you can help i would be very grateful :)

I have fixed your code and put the walking/rotation code in the one frame.
