AS question (i need help)

[Inglor]

hello fellow actionscripters, is there any way to check hitTest of an entire leyer or a group of object? (just one hitTest)

[Inglor]

doesn't have to be a leyer, as long as it's an hittest of an object that does not include all the blank spaces within

hmm... if you put them altogether in one MC and then use use hitTest with the shape detection I think that might work

if(_root.something.hitTest(_root.groupOfThings,true))//actions

adding the "true" parameter should make flash ignore all the blank space in between. But I've never used it myself so I don't know how good it works.

or if that was even what you were asking...

you could store them all in the array and hittest in the arry. its not that hard really. if you want t knwo how. IM me on MSN.

Er, couldn't you use the good ol' for loop? What type of objects are you working with?

Shapeflag...however that restricts it to only being able to detect a mass hitting against a single registration point(ala the players feet in a platform game)

To use shapeflag you would do something like

_root.groundMC.hitTest(_root.player._x,_root.player._y,true) which would test to see if the player mc's registration point hitTests the large mass.

Bah, you probably already know of this though.
