If the ‘bullet’ instance located on the **\_root** timelime collides with the ‘moster’ instance on the **\_root** timeline then go play frame label ‘death’ within the ‘monster’ movie clip.
That is pretty much what that script does, being as I cannot see your movie I don’t exactly know everything that is going on, but I think I am right on this one, actually I am quite positive. 😉

‘death’ is a frame label. You can either label your frames or use the actual frame numbers like:
[AS]
\_root.monster.gotoAndPlay(14);
[/AS]

“Scene=Scene 1 copy, Layer=hotdogman, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
if(\_root.bullet.hitTest(\_root.monster))”
i named my monster movie clip as “monster” as the instance name, i named the label death. so why do i get this msg? o and i put the script on the monster

You put the script on a frame instead of a movie clip, but the script above doesn’t have to be on an event handler so I have no clue how you even got that error. . . .
Posting the .fla would work best if you were able to, if not no big deal!

here’s my attempt at it. I’ve put the hittest actionscript in the monster MC and re-arranged your scripting for the timeline of the monster MC. So when the bullet hits the monster it will play the death scene.
