Hi.

I’m busy with a game thats using the hit tests and variable etc… My hit test works… but when the one mc hits the other it goes from 1 to 10 very rapidly. It does not record one hit and then another this is what I am using at the moment.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
speed = 10;  
this.\_y += speed;  
if (this, hitTest(\_root.arrow)) {  
\_root.lives += 1;

```
}

```

}

Any ideas would be most helpful…

thanx  
mako 🙂
