Hit test to non-rectangular polygons?

[Chronos]

I wanna do a hit-test to see if it's within an arbitraty polygon! I don't mean rectangle, I mean anything-- but it doesn't have to be converse it can be just for concave. How do I do this?

Do you mean how to carry out hitTest on "irregular" movieclips? If the answer is yes, be sure the boolean value for shapeFlag parameter(the 3rd one) is true.

mc.hitTest(x, y, true);

it needs more than x and y
it needs to calculate the angle, radius,.....
some math
see some here
