i am doing a game that uses the same concept “hero” or “thing” shots “bullet” then “bullet” hits “enemy” then “enemy” goes to and play something…anyways u get the idea…here’s the code i am using in my game i had to remove some code lines so i hope it helps u…sorry if it doesnt…

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (hitTest(\_root.“enemy”)==true) {  
\_root.“enemy”.gotoAndPlay( 2 );  
}

like i told u i am not sure if this will work for u cuse i had to erase some lines and i should add i didnt write the code for my game…

by the way the (2) is the frame where the dead animation starts for the enemy after been hit by the bullet. and u dont have to change ur hittest if u have one that works already.
