I created a drag and drop game where users drop sections on a map and instantly receive feedback if they are correct or incorrect.  I've got the correct feedback working correctly but I can figure out the incorrect part as it is below nothing happens.  Any help is greatly appreciated

stop();

_global.counter=1;

_global.totalquestions=10;

Slogan1="Question 1";

Slogan2="Question 2";

Slogan3="Question 3";

function init(){

_root.slogan.text=Slogan1;

_global.answer=Answer1;

_global.counter++;

}

function checkAnswer(guess){

if (guess==_global.answer){

_root.slogan.text=eval("Slogan"+_global.counter);

_global.answer=eval("Answer"+_global.counter);

_global.counter++;

//_root.result.text="You Are Correct";

feedback("correct");

eval("_root." + guess)._alpha=70;

eval("_root." + guess).active=0;

if (_global.counter > _global.totalquestions){

_root.complete.text="Quiz Complete";

_root.slogan.text="Quiz Complete";

  }

}else{

//_root.result.text="You Are Wrong";

feedback("incorrect");

  }

}

function feedback (response){

     }else{

   _root.incorrect._visible=1;

   }

   _global.feedTime=setInterval (clearFeed, 1000, response);

function clearFeed(response){

trace("incorrect and code is working")

   _root.incorrect._visible=1;

   }

   _global.feedTime=setInterval (clearFeed, 1000, response);

When I do that this is displayed - Box_A Box_A.  So the correct part is working but something is wrong with the incorrect that I cant seem to figure out.

function init(){

_root.slogan.text=Slogan1;

_global.answer=Answer1;

_global.counter++;

}

function checkAnswer(guess){

trace(guess+" "+_global.answer);

then you're not calling checkAnswer() when you drop an incorrect object.

what code executes when an object is dropped?

This is the code on every object that is dropped, there are 9 of them. 

onClipEvent (load) {

  this.active = 1;

  origX = this._x;

  origY = this._y;

}

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {

  if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))

  {

  if (this.active == 1)

  {

  this.startDrag();

  }

  }

}

onClipEvent (mouseUp){

  if (this.active == 1)

  {

  if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))

  {

     // see if the dropZone conatins the center of this mc

  if (_parent.dropZone_A.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true))

  {

  _root.checkAnswer(this._name);

  origX = 285.95;

  origY = 230.00;

  }

  }

  }

  this._x = origX;

  this._y = origY;

  this.stopDrag();

}

that's not good coding.

but the problem is probably,

  if (_parent.dropZone_A.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true))
