As3 Hit Test Help
 

I just started coding a very simple game on cs3 but i have set the ships instance too "ship" and then i have if(this.hitTest(_root.ship)) { this.removeMovieClip } yet whenever i run into an enemy ship it doesnt remove it or anything and when i run debug it says there is a ship instance but its level0.ship not _root i can upload the fla file if needed
