I have tried hitTest many times. The function works perfect if I run it from an example, but not if I do it myself.

Could someone please look at my file. I attached the FLA.

Also, in this demonstration I tried using the if with the ,s. I have tried with \_root.mc.hitTest style.

Please see if you can find my error.  
This is for CS3.

Thanks,  
Matt
