_quality (MovieClip._quality property), _quality property

hitArea (MovieClip.hitArea property)

public hitArea : Object

Designates another movie clip to serve as the hit area for a movie clip. If the hitArea property

does not exist or the value is

null or undefined, the movie clip itself is used as the hit area.

The value of the

hitArea property may be a reference to a movie clip object.

You can change the

hitArea property at any time; the modified movie clip immediately uses

the new hit area behavior. The movie clip designated as the hit area does not need to be

visible; its graphical shape, although not visible, is still detected as the hit area.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example sets the

circle_mc movie clip as the hit area for the square_mc movie

clip. Place these two movie clips on the Stage and test the document. When you click

circle_mc, the square_mc movie clip traces that it was clicked.

square_mc.hitArea = circle_mc;

square_mc.onRelease = function() {

trace("hit! "+this._name);

};

You can also set the circle_mc movie clip visible property to false to hide the hit area for

square_mc.

circle_mc._visible = false;
