Well there are a few things that you could be doing wrong. Make sure that the enemy has the instance name enemy and that the player has the instance name player, and that the health bar has the instance name hpbar. Also tell us where your code is, and make sure that the three movieclips are on the main timeline. And make sure your health bar has more than one frame to go to, it could happen...

Do you have it within an onEnterFrame function. Are the instance names correct? Are you 100% sure that you've done everything correctly? Where are you putting this code?

Some more information might be nice.

ALLTHE INTANCE NAMES ARE OK
but
maybe it's beacuse i put the hpbar in the player movie clip for following

Oh that would have been nice to know...that means:

_root.player.hpbar.nextFrame();

nop stil don't working....

still*^^

[Coaly]

if(_root.player.hitTest(_root.enemy)){
_root.player.hpbar.nextFrame()
}

if that isn't working and the bar is in the player, than you have not named them correctly, or are not giving us enough information, both of us asked where the code is.

Also, don't fucking double post saying the same thing within two minutes. You are doing something wrong and you haven't given us enough information to be able to know what it is.

Just to specify, like Coaly said, you're 100% that this is the EXACT code you have within the MAIN TIMELINE:

function onEnterFrame () {
    if(_root.player.hitTest(_root.enemy)){
        _root.player.hpbar.nextFrame();
    }
}

If you can't get it then, just send the .fla, because clearly you don't have the instance names in correctly. Instance names are the things when click the object and go to the properties panel, it says <Instance Name> and you type it in.
