Question

I have a function dragging movieClips on the stage which pass over other movieClips which I’d like to identify somehow.

Is there a “built-in” way to do this in AS3?

Thanks

Have a look at hitTestObject().

Evaluates the bounding box of the display object to see if it overlaps
or intersects with the bounding box of the obj display object.

Parameters

obj:DisplayObject — The display object to test against.

Returns

Boolean — true if the bounding boxes of the display objects intersect;
false if not.
