Which is faster?

[kizza0]

Using hitTest point on a fairly large movieclip
or
Using BitmapData.hitTest to a point on the same movieclip.

Should I just hitTestPoint the movieclip or convert it to a bitmap and check collisions?

I think the normal hitTest is best.

Obvious a bitmap hitTest would take longer since you would be doing many point to point collisions whereas a regular hittest would just check a collision with either the bounding box or a single point.

Its basically a tradeoff for either efficiency or accuracy.

BitmapHitTest does not have to be a bitmap to bitmap but rather a bitmap to either a rectangle, bitmap or POINT!
SO it can be used for just a point. Which on is faster? I don't know.
