Are the enemies movie clips? is the game tile based?

if its all based off movie clips you could use:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.enemy)) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("die");
}

where enemy = instance name of the enemy
and "die" equals frame label for death screen

hey thanks for answering back. yes they are all movie clips but arent enemies more as obstacles its like that old school racing game where your going along the road and trying to avoid the walls and no its not tile based. i cant ost a fla becuase its to big and the swf and html are giving m,e errors when i try to upload them so i ant get you a source to look at. the piece of code you gave me didnt work and still did nothing. ive found that the only time it lets me use that function is when i actually am pressing a button but any help would be greatly appreciated:thumb2:
