so far- your code is fine! however you seem to have placed it in some arbitrary place.

in games, most checks have to happen within a main game loop - this means all of your collision as well. If you have main game loop, paste your code into that instead of where you have it now. IE:

this.onEnterFrame{

//my game stuff
if(endportal.hitTest(_root.char)) {
gotoAndPlay("level2",1);
}
