k, I have a shopping cart, and I have 6 items, and a hittest, when i drop the item into the shopping cart it is supposed to disappear and give me a total.

So far, when i try to test it, like I move the item, and drop it, and I have a trace to test if it hits, so far it seems that the hittest tests as true NO MATTER WHERE I choose to drop the item.

code:

code:

COD_mc.onPress = makenew;

function makenew()
{
	this.duplicateMovieClip( "my"+m_cnt+"_mc", m_depth, "my"+m_cnt+"_mc");
	eval("my"+m_cnt+"_mc").startDrag();
	eval("my"+m_cnt+"_mc").onPress = Prs;
	eval("my"+m_cnt+"_mc").onRelease = Rel;
	m_cnt++;
	m_depth++;
}

function Prs()
{
	this.startDrag();
}

function Rel()
{
	this.stopDrag();
	//onClipEvent(enterFrame)
	//{
		if (this, hitTest(Cart_mc)) 
		{
			trace("Hit!"+this);
		}
		else
		{
			trace("Missed :("+this);
		}
	//}
}

It seems that this (being what I am dragging) and the Cart will always test as hitting no matter where I drop the item. Is there something I am missing here.

Ok after some more googling ive found someone who did it as if ( this.hittest(movieclup)){ actions }

which makes alot more sense and seems to work.
