Hi, I’m new to the forum & have been using flash mx for a couple of days. I’m working on a game which I need to develop further but firstly I’m starting off with basic things & then making them more complex.

I’ve made a movie clip of a dart which I moves across the stage and hits a target. Now, when it hits the target ( a movie clip of a circle which is red), the circle changes to blue. However, I know the dart movie clip needs some code along the lines of  
on (_event_) {  
[color=#000087]if[/color] ([color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]\_droptarget[/color] == “[color=blue]/circle[/color]”) {  
[color=#000087]\_root[/color].circle.[color=#000087]gotoAndStop/color;  
}  
}

What would the event be? I tried on (rollover) but that didn’t work. Any suggestions?  
The code on the circle is in the circle’s first frame which is:  
stop();

(so it doesnt play the second frame until the dart hits it)  
I’d be so grateful for any help, as it’s for my uni coursework 😃
