hitTest with true

[bhg webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'd like to create a hitTest betweeen two irregularly shaped mc's - To use the actusl pixels rasther than a bounding bov I need to put True as a parameter. To use true I need to put x and y parameters in . There are two things I don't understand.
1) what the x and y parmeters should be ...
2) How do I make sure that actual pixels are used for both movie clips involved
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if(hitTest(_root.mc_name(x,y,true)){
trace("hit");
}
}
thanks for any help

this is an old problem. Hittest can be used to 1) detect MC to MC collision, using bounding box for both or 2) detect point(x,y) to MC collision, using bounding box OR pixels.

In other words, you can only use bounding box with MC to MC hittests.

Too bad that's how it works, but it is.
