RE: [Flashcoders] hitTest unreliability

2009-04-29 Thread Paul Steven 
If possible then perhaps increasing the frame rate, the theory being that
there will be more tests going on and less likely the mouse has moved
outside the hit area before the test is performed. I guess increasing the
frame rate may not be an option. 

Hope that helps

Subject: [Flashcoders] hitTest unreliability

Hi list...

[AS2] If I moderately rapidly move the mouse in and out of a ScrollPane
component, a hitTest on movieclips contained within the ScrollPane won't
always evaluate correctly.  I can't figure out why it's so unreliable,
working only about 65% of the time.

The ScrollPane contains a bunch of movieclips, each with the onRollOut
function attached:

if(this._parent.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)==false){
O.UI.firstLevelMenu.flmSP.content.topicSynopsis.removeMovieClip();
}

Any thoughts?

my guess is that you're actually passing over the whole clip you're
hitTesting against in the time it takes for the frame to go by - you could
try saving the previous mouseposition and the current mouseposition and then
testing to see if the path between them crosses your clip

Thanks for the responses.  I think this is probably the solution because when I 
set the framerate to 1fps, it always errorred.

Thanks
