Moving objects (removechild etc...)

programming flash

Hi I’m new here so it wouldn’t surprise me if I miss something simple but here goes:
I am creating a game where you have to catch coconuts in a basket and when this happens the next one will fall (removechild() ). And the score is incremented etc…

My problem is that when it reaches the third coconut it freezes I feel that there is a flaw in my logic but I cannot see it for some reason:

function collisionDetector(event:Event):void {
//Create the children to be deleted later
addChild(coco1_mc);
addChild(coco2_mc);
addChild(coco3_mc);

if ( coco1_mc.hitTestObject(basket_mc) ) {
	coco_hits += 1;
	updateHitText();
	coco3_mc.y += dy; //Code for movement(function declared earlier)
	removeChild(coco1_mc);
	
}
else if ( coco1_mc.hitTestObject(bottomz) )  {
	  coco_miss += 1;
	  updateHitText();
	  coco3_mc.y += dy;
	  removeChild(coco1_mc);
}
if (coco3_mc.hitTestObject(basket_mc) ) {
	coco_hits += 1;
	updateHitText();
	coco5_mc.y += dy;
	removeChild(coco3_mc);
}
else if (coco3_mc.hitTestObject(bottomz) ) {
	coco_miss++;
	updateHitText();
	coco5_mc.y += dy;
	removeChild(coco3_mc);
}

Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Tom
