i have a load of script that summons a bullet

function shoot() {  
mc = \_root.attachMovie(“bullet”, “bullet”+\_root.bullet, \_root.bullet++);  
mc.\_x = ship.\_x;  
mc.\_y = ship.\_y;  
}

so i have summoned the bullet.

now i have an enemy

function spawnEnemy() {  
enemy = \_root.attachMovie(“enemy”, “enemy”+\_root.bullet, \_root.bullet++);  
}

as you no bullet has been renamed to bullet+number

i now need to have an enemy hittest that checks to see if it has hit the bullet.

how can i do that.

Thanks,
