onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.pawel)) {  
\_root.score.text++;  
gotoAndStop(“hit”);//i was trying to go to an other frame of the time line//it didnt work  
\_root.intento.text++;  
unloadMovie(this);  
}  
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
\_X+= 5;  
legs.play();  
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
\_X-= 5;  
legs.play();  
}  
if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {  
\_y+=5;  
legs.play();  
}  
if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {

Maybe it’s too late for this, but…

Instead of detecting when the character hits a zone, you could call a function depending on the option the user has chosen.

Maybe your problem with gotoAndStop is you need to specify a target like \_root.gotoAndStop or my\_mc.gotoAndStop or this.gotoAndStop

Well I can help, but I can’t make it for you…

Please tell me, without code, what you want to accomplish and I can give you a general approach. 😉
