Hi Guys an Gals, Is it possible to change the currently viewed movieclip after a hittest? I have been looking to do something like this, but no success so far. Any help would be much appreciated as I shall learn a little more. Best regards Frederick if (objects\*.hitTestObject(theCar.hit ))  
{  
var object1:String = objects\*;

```
 switch (object1)
  {
   case "[object present1]":
   score = 2;
   trace("E target ",e.target.name); //gives root
   root.Car_p1;
   break;
```
