Hi. My name is Chris and i am having a problem with hittest and really don't know where to go from here. I was wondering if anyone could help

Basically i have a rocket mc, instance called Rocket1. I then have a shape which i converted to a mc called symbol2 and then inside that mc made another mc with an instance name of firstpoint1945. When Rocket1 comes into contact with symbol2 i want firstpoint1945 to appear on screen with the text in it and when the Rocket1 navigates away for the text to disappear.
Inside the movieclip symbol i made a second frame on the timeline and inserted the firstpoint1945 mc. I then named that frame firstpointtext.
I tried this but i fear this is totally wrong. All that happens is that firstpoint1945 (the text) just flashes on screen constantly.

onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (_root.symbol2.hitTest(_root.Rocket1))
{
_root.firstpointtext.gotoAndPlay("firstpointtext") ;
}
};

Any help would be much appreciated as i am pulling my hair out. Thanks.
