Polygon coordinates in Director

[Luc Tremblay]

Hi,
I am using Director 7.
I have to create an exercise where the user has to click on a specific spot
of an echography picture to identify the correct answer.
What I have to work with are polygon x/y coordinates.
The first place I looked was the Vector Shape, but all I can control, in
terms of coordinates, is a rectangle around the shape.
Does anybody can give me a hint on how to deal with polygon coordinates in
Director ? Perhaps an Xtra can improve this ?

Thanks a lot,

The simplest scheme is to have bitmap segments underneath the displayed
sprite, with matte ink assigned theses hot area maps they may be
irregular open shapes, these maps may be solid black 1 bit members to
perserve memory, the top sprite with a script assigned recieves mouse
clicks, so the displayed image sprite should hae no script.

For rectangular areas one can simply us tool window rects, sized on
stage.

Thanks a lot for the hint.

However, how come Director 7 doesn't support straight polygon coordinates
tracing ? Is it something now supported in newer version of Director ?
