HitTest ''HELP''

i need to know how to use hittest heres me code maybe u can help me:

onClipEvent (load) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.goal)) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

or

onClipEvent (load) {
if (_target.car.hitTest(_root.goal)) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

how about a better description?

you probably want to use onClipEvent(enterFrame) as to onLoad, because onLoad will only check the hitTest once when it loads, enterFrame will check every frame…

it still aint workin,
see im making a game its a car game and when it goes over the goal it ments to go to a new frame, saying youve won or something but if the opponent goes over it, it goes to another frame saying youve lost
