You should try to make the hittest a little more precise. When you use a movieclip for hittest in flash, its boundingbox is used and not its shape, as in this example:

Mc_1 and Mc_2 are both circles

.../­¯¯¯¯\
./............\
|..............|
.\............/
...\____//­¯¯¯¯\
............/............\
...........|..............|
............\............/
..............\____/

Mc_1.hitTest(Mc_2) will return true. Since they are MovieClip, it's their boundingbox that are used for the hittest, even if their shapes aren't hitting.

Because you are using trapesis (I'm not sure how to spell it in english... sory), each of the shapes you are using could have an array containing 4 point (import Flash.geom will be necessary). Look at this example:

1,0......5,0
...../¯¯\
0,2¯¯¯6,2

import Flash.geom
var pointArray:Array = Array(new Point(1,0), new Point(5,0), new Point(6,2), new Point(0,2));

With these point, you will be able to test if two trapesis are hitting each other with their shapes.

../¯¯\
/........\./¯¯\
¯¯¯¯¯/........\
..........¯¯¯¯¯

import Flash.geom
var Trapesis_1_array:Array = Array(new Point(1,0), new Point(5,0), new Point(6,2), new Point(0,2));
var Trapesis_2_array:Array = Array(new Point(5.5,1), new Point(10.5,1), new Point(11.5,3), new Point(4.5,3));

function checkForHit(){
for(var i:Number = 0; iMc_Trapesis_2.hitTest (Trapesis_1_array[i]._x, Trapesis_1_array[i]._y, true) ? return true : null;
}
return false;
}

Well... something like that might work.

Sounds interesting, but somehow it doesn't work here... all I get is the black screen with "click to start", and clicking doesn't help of course...
