Duplicate movie clip hit testing another duplicate movie clip

1

I have 2 separate movie clips that are being duplicated and I am trying to figure out how to hitTest between the 2. Here is the code I have set up right now:

1st MC dupe:

_root.MC.duplicateMovieClip("DMC"+_root.count, _root.count);

2nd MC dupe:

_root.SC.duplicateMovieClip("DSC"+_root.count2, _root.count2);

2nd MC’s hitTest:

onEnterFrame = function() {
	for (var i=0; i<count; i++){
 		if (this.hitTest(_root["DMC" + i])){
			  this.play();
		}
	}
}

This does not work! :frowning: Am I way off? Close?

Help is greatly appreciated!
