Hittest help!

Hello guys, I have a question is there a way to code a hittest so that if it touches the object say 5 times then it does what is suppose to?

Example:

                          if(this.hitTestObject(apple))
	      {
			removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,update);
			parent.removeChild(this);
			apple.y=600;
			apple_mc.y= 1000;
		}
