Hi,
Can you measure the vector distance between the centre of the
polygon and the centre of the ball? If that is 0,0, and the diameter of
the circle is less than the smallest of width / height of the box, then
you are inside.

Working on a game where the player must draw around some colored balls on
screen by dragging the mouse to create the polygon that surrounds the

The polygon is created by drawing a series of lines every time the mouse
moves. If one of these lines intersects one of the balls (movie clip) I need
to perform an action.
So my question is how to detect when the line intersects a movie clip?
The following is unsuitable as it treats the line as a rectangle e.g a
vertical line will have a lot of hit area that I do not want to be hit area
if (ballMC.hitTestObject(lineMC)) {
My other best suggestion is to use the 4 lines that make up the bounding box
of the ball movie clip and do a line intersection test for each line against
the line being drawn. This seems overly complex so before I try this I
wanted to check there is not a simpler solution.
Thanks in advance
