Array confusion

Question

Hi,

I have a problem with my array function, moveover, I don't
understand why this is not working. I am defining 2 arrays in the
code below and performing a hitTest to try and detect which object
in the clip2 array that clip1 is actually hitting, when the hitTest
is performed, the trace output traces out all 33 items instead of
the specific item. If any1 could help me to understand what i am
doing wrong, I would be very thankful.

Thanks for looking at my post,
~Brandine

I havent used it in a long time but if I remember it corectly it should give you the clip that is under your mouse - would be the logical thing to do at least and it would almost certainly "feel" right this way.

edit:
It does behave that way, the only ploblem is, if you drag the floating item at its corner, drag it 90% over the target-clip, but the mouse isn't over the clip it won't work - but then you might have a hard time with any other solution.
Draging the object by the center only will help, but to make it real usable a visual feedback (highlightnig) before dropping would really be useful I guess.

I think there's something wrong with the logic in this code: it does a hittest for wk_array[1] and my_array[1], then for wk_array[2] and my_array[2] and so on. If the objects with matching numbers overlap, every hittest returns true and it will trace all 32 clips.
I guess you wanted to do a hittest of 1 object from array 1 with all objects of array 2, so you should define clip1 before the loop starts, like in the attached code. If you wanted something else, please explain in more detail.
