Thanks Bernard - well spotted! I discovered this too but unfortunately this is only a test movie to try and work out why my main game movie is not working.
With the test movie - I can replicate the problem if I move the game_mc movie clip across to the left. Currently it is positioned with an x position of -105.6 However if you move the game_mc over to the left so it is -235.6 then the collision detection stops working. I believe the problem with my main movie is something to do with this. Any ideas?

Changing: if (game_mc.bg_mc.hitTest(game_mc.mcDolphin._x, game_mc.mcDolphin._y, true)) { Into: if (game_mc.bg_mc.hitTest(game_mc.Player_Object._x, game_mc.Player_Object._y, true)) { Solves the problem.
