MovieClip.hitTest() 509
MovieClip.hitArea
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_mc.hitArea
Returns
A reference to a movie clip.
Description
Property; designates another movie clip to serve as the hit area for a button movie clip. If the
hitArea property does not exist or is null or undefined, the button movie clip itself is used as
the hit area. The value of the
hitArea property may be a reference to a movie clip object.
You can change the
hitArea property at any time; the modified button movie clip immediately
takes on the new hit area behavior. The movie clip designated as the hit area does not need to be
visible; its graphical shape, although not visible, is hit-tested. The
hitArea property can be read
out of a prototype object.
