hitTest question

[Adam14]

I have an Arrow Mc and a ball Mc, plus a button to release the Arrow. On the button I have:

on (release) {
while (_root.Arrow._x<0) {
if (_root.Arrow.hitTest(_root.ball)) {
setProperty (&quot;_root.ball&quot;, _alpha, 0);
_root.Man.gotoAndPlay(10);
} else {
setProperty (&quot;_root.Arrow&quot;, _alpha, 100);
_root.Man.gotoAndStop(3);
_level0.trigger++;
}
}
setProperty (&quot;_root.Arrow&quot;, _x, flight+(target += 200));
_root.Man.gotoAndStop(2);
}


And on the Arrow I have:

onClipEvent (load) {
this._x=100;
_root.target = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
current = this._x;
flight = current+_root.target;
setProperty (this, _x, flight+target);
}


Does anyone have any idea why the Arrow is going through the ball without doing the hitTest? I had it working with just having the arrow going to _xposition 900, but when I tried to get it to &quot;move&quot; instead of jump to the _xposition 900, it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be great. It's actually for a Thanksgiving card to my sister. I had this:

which had a turkey going up and down in random _y and static _x(900), which worked fine 'cause the arrow ended up in that _x position.

I tried to have the turkey do the random_y, plus change the _x, which left the turkey outside of the ending _x position(900) of the Arrow. So I tried this:

(the ball is only in there for test purposes.

Thanks, anyone for your help. Adam

It looks as though the swf file links don't work
