Flash Maze Game

Hello,
I am creating a Simple Flash Maze Game,
and i have 2 'Movie Clips' that i want to react when the collide.
IE. When 'CHAR_LVL1' (A Movie Clip, controlled with the Arrow Keys) comes into contact with 'WALL_LVL1'. I want it to 'gotoAndStop(27);'

I am using the code:

Code:

---

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_root.CHAR_LVL1, hitTest(_root.WALL_LVL1)) {
gotoAndPlay(27);
}
}

---

What am i doing wrong.
FYI:
I am using Flash CS5 and Action Script 2.0

Why are you using gotoAndPlay?
Shouldn't you be using gotoAndStop?

Yes i am using gotoAndStop(27);

typo!

Actionscript Code:

if(_root.CHAR_LVL1.hitTest(_root.WALL_LVL1)){
gotoAndPlay(27);
}

make sure the wall has the instance name WALL_LVL1 and the char has the instance name CHAR_LVL1
