AS 3 Object Hit Test question

May 20, 2012 9:21 AM

I am working on a tennis game. I have designed a two -dimensional court with each of the individual parts of the court (eg right service court) as an instance of a movie clip. I want to distort the court so that the far end looks farther away - the court becomes a trapezium. When detecting whether the ball lands on a particular court section, is the hit test done on the original two-dimensional shape or on the distorted shape?

    unless you use the bitmapdata hittest, you'll be checking for a hit of the bounding rectangle and it does not matter what the original shape is.  if you want a pixel-perfect hittest, you'll need to use the bitmapdata hittest.
