On the car movieclip, put:


if (hitTest(_level0.endspot)==true) {
_root.gotoandplay("name of the desired frame");
}


Change "endspot" to whatever it is your end spot is instance-named as.

Adjust the number in "_level0" to designate the depth, so if it is on the main timeline then leave it as "_level0"

In the quotation marks, put the name of the frame you want to go to. To name a frame, click it, open the properties panel, and enter the name in the correct box. It's better than numbers, because even if you change the frame order it will still work.
