Hi All  
could some one help me out?  
What I am trying to do is set up a hit test for two objects. Unfortunatly they need to be inside emblem (movieclip).  
Unfortunatly the het test is not working neither is the else.  
Probably due to my as3 lepperacy.

\*\*  
thank to any one who takes th time to look\*\*

```auto
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
	event.target.stopDrag();
	var TARGET:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.target.name);
	var myTargetName:MovieClip = MovieClip("emblem." + event.target.name);
if (TARGET.hitTestObject(myTargetName)){
		reply_txt.text = "Good Job!";
		
	} else {
		reply_txt.text = "Try Again!";
		
	}
	
}

```
