So I took a year+ break from flash, and i was awful before that anyways

but im having trouble getting my hittest to work with

this is what i have for the collision part of my code:  
(note:this is all in main frame)

```auto
function Collision():void {
    for (var i = 0; i < level.mc.numChildren; i++) {
        switch (getQualifiedClassName(level.mc.getChildAt(i))) {
            case "Building" :
            case "Border" :
            case "Etc" :
            case "Building2" :
                hit_test(hero.mc,level.mc.getChildAt(i),false);
                break;
        }
    }
}

if (hero.mc.hitTestObject(building2)){
    gotoAndPlay(1);
}

```

When hero.mc collides with building2 (also a mc) id like the whole game to go to frame 1

thank you for any help 😃
