Hi,  
I want to check if a mc has hit a duplicated mc, what is needed on the below script as it doesnt appear to work? I believe its something about check for part of a name, ie looking for bullet when bullet1, bulllet2, bullet3 etc have been duplicated.

Code:  
targetmc.onEnterFrame = function() { this.\_y += \_root.speed; if (this.\_y\>=700) { this.\_x = random(800); this.\_y = 50; } if (this.hitTest(String(\_name) != “bullet”)) { \_root.score++; this.\_x=random(800) this.\_y=-100 }};  
Cheers  
Steve
