HitTest Everything

[bestpilotever]

I have been checking out this site for awhile and I want to say thanks to everyone with their free advice. I have a many problems but my first is that I need a way to detect when the player interacts (hittest) with everything. I looked around and I don't undertstand anything thus far. (don't assume I know anything) Please help. Thanks.

Thank you for your respose, but I feel like I am missing something.
Can I not type in something like:

if (player.hitTest(everything)){
//do whatever
}
in place of eveything can I not place some code to hit test every other MC in the frame?

count the hittest for all the elements on stage except itself.... number of clips can be counted as for(var i in this){
count++;
} try this... count will be one less.
