i’ve created a game by going through a set of tutorials on [flashkit.com](http://flashkit.com) but that game is too simple. i’m trying to make the enemies shoot back at me but everything i have tried has failed. if anyone can help me, please do.

now i’m trying to make powerups but i’m trying to use a hitTest and it’s not working.  
my code looks like this and is in the powerup:  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.spaceship)) {  
\_root.laser.gotoAndPlay(2);  
this.removeMovieClip  
}  
}

put a frame label in the first frame of the scene you want to go to and then target that frame lable. i.e. use taco for your frame label;

if (this.hitTest(\_root.spaceship)) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“taco”);  
}
