So I’m working on a game for a class and since it is in actionscript, a lot of the work is independent. So my game basically consists of a bike character riding around and avoiding obstacles. My script looks like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.bike, hitTest (\_root.obstacle)){  
\_visible = false;  
}  
}

This script works, but when I replace the visible statement to gotoAndPlay it doesn’t work.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.bike, hitTest (\_root.obstacle)){  
gotoAndPlay (“gameover” , 1);  
}  
}

I really don’t know what to do and I hope you guys can help.
