It’s because in the HitTest, you have it checking if the circle is hitting “Test1”, while the mc you’re trying to hit is named “test1”. It doesn’t look like it would make a difference, but it is case sensitive, so inside the code on the cirlce, change the code to this…

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (this.hitTest(_root.test1)) {
  trace("Jippi");
 }
}

```

yep

```auto

[LEFT]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  if (this.hitTest(_root.bomb1)) {
    gotoAndPlay("GameOver", 1);
  }
}

```

I have no idea why you have a 1 after the name of the frame you want to gotoAndPlay. If anything, try this…

```auto

[LEFT]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  if (this.hitTest(_root.bomb1)) {
    gotoAndStop("GameOver");
  }
}

```

and make sure the case of the name of the frame is GameOver, EXACTLY like you have it in the code - Chris[/LEFT]
