Ok I am running into a small problem, I dont understand why this doesnt work at all. When I done a trace it called it back as being false. Here is my code.

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
  score = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  this.onPress = function() {
    for (i=0; i<=8; i++) {
        if (this, hitTest(eval("_root.TargetMC1.Target"+i))) {
	  this[eval("_root.TargetMC1.Target"+i)]._visible = false;
        }
      }
   }
}

```

I am new to the eval function, so I do have my head fully around it yet.
