is within ... polygon shape?

[Steve Bonham]

hmmmm-

Intersect doesn't work after all. It appears that one object will 
intersect with another irregular object's rect and NOT the objects 
true shape (polygon points).
See illustration... at:

Is there a way to get Rev to:
1. evaluate IF the loc of an object is within the shape (defined by a 
series of coordinates) of an object?

OR
2. evaluate IF the loc of an object intersects with the shape 
(defined by a series of coordinates) of an object?

Thx,
S
