Hi all, Im only new at this so please be gentle 🙂  
Senario,  
Simple space shooter, spacecraft , enemy, style game.  
But I want to add a wall behind the spacecraft that if the enemy hits it,  
it plays the wall MC.

I have the hitTest for the enemy looking like this …

if (this.hitTest( \_root.spacecraft ) ){  
\_root.gotoAndStop ( “gameOver” );

which works if the spacecraft is hit, but Im trying to add the “wall” hitTest  
and Im haveing no luck . Ive tried many variations of…

if (this.hitTest( \_root.spaceship ) ){  
\_root.gotoAndStop ( “gameOver” );  
if (this.hitTest( \_root.wall ) ){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay ( wall (2) );

Could some one please point me in the right direction.  
Thanks

if (this.hitTest( \_root.wall ) ){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay ( wall (2) );  
}  
change to:  
if (this.hitTest( \_root.wall ) ){  
\_root.wall.gotoAndPlay (2);  
}
