Im having a problem with a hittest, first I have for the player if you press down it goes to the attack frame where there is a variable called attackhit and its set to true. Now on the enemy I have this code:

```php
 
onClipEvent(enterFrame) { 
     if(this.hitTest(_root.guy)) { 
          _root.touch = true} 
     else{ 
          _root.touch = false} 
     if((_root.touch)){ 
  if(attackhit==true){_root.hp-=10}
     } 
} 

```

Problem is its not working 😛 any help with this?
