Hi,
I tried the tutorial on hitTest, and I tried to make something using that. Now, I have a problem, and I really dont see what’s wrong
I used this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (\_root.Projectiel, hitTest(\_root.Boot)) {
gotoAndPlay( frame2 );
}
}
It has to go to frame 2 when “Projectiel” hits “Boot”
But it doesnt do a thing. You guys know my fault?

[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (\_root.Projectiel.hitTest(\_root.Boot)) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
[/AS]
BTW, do you speak dutch ? I was the word Projectiel in it en da gelijkt tamelijk wa op’t nederlands/vlaams :beam:

Either that or
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.Projectiel.hitTest(_root.Boot)) {
gotoAndPlay("frame2");
}
}
```
If you want it to go to a frame that has the label “frame2” (no quotations)…
