This is a simple utility function to detect pixel precise hit testing. Here i use the features of the BitmapData class to make a pixel perfect hitText

public static function hitTest(object:DisplayObject, point:Point):Boolean 
{

	if(object is BitmapData) 
	{
		return (object as BitmapData).hitTest(new Point(0,0), 0, object.globalToLocal(point));
	}
	else 
	{
		
		if(!object.hitTestPoint(point.x, point.y, true)) 
		{
			return false;
		}
		else 
		{
			
			var bmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(object.width, object.height, true, 0x00000000);
			bmapData.draw(object, new Matrix());
			var returnVal:Boolean = bmapData.hitTest(new Point(0,0), 0, object.globalToLocal(point));
			
			bmapData.dispose();
			
			return returnVal;
		}
	}
}

You can implement on your code like this:

this.addEventListener(Event.Enter_FRAME, hitTesting);
private function hitTesting(e:Event):void
{
	DisplayObjectUtils.hitTest(myTarget, new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
	// DisplayObjectUtils is a class where i store all my display object related methods. you can 		create your own
}
