In my vertical shooter game ( **SWF link here:** [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PPF3192Y](http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PPF3192Y)), I attach bullets (aka duplication with attachMovieClip) and flags. Both do certain things fine (the flags progress to the left horizontally; the bullets up). The enemy (the flags) is contained in a var, the bullets not. How can I execute a hitTest so that when the two collide, they both delete? ( **FLA link here:** [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H4LBGTHE](http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H4LBGTHE)). Thanks so much.
