Hello all,  
For starters if anyone wants to see the fla i will post it,  
Ok, i did the tutorial on firing ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/fire.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/fire.htm))  
and i wanted to put in an enemy, that would play when hit,  
basiccly i just quickly drew a rectangle and made it a movieclip,  
i called it enemy, and put its instance name as enemy aswell,  
( the bullets instance name is bullets), then i went into the enemy movieclip and made the first frame stop, and second playing the dying animation, then stopping on the fifth with nothing there. i put this code on the enemy movieclip but it wont work, as i am new to AS i dont really know what is wrong Please help!

onClipEvent(load){  
if (\_root.enemy, hittest(\_root.bullets)) {  
\_root.enemy = gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

thanks alot,
