I’m using this code to detect a collision with the movieclips circle and line, but it doesn’t appear to be working.

```auto
if(circle.hitTestObject(line)){
    // stuff
}

```

Can someone please tell me what’s wrong? Thanks in advance =D

**EDIT: Oh wait, never mind. I just forgot the event listener. Solved.**
