  First, you don't need to use [ ]. "shit" is the name of the new movie clip, you can just type _root.shit or even shit and leave it at that.

  second, your syntax is wrong. You want this:
  _root.shit.onEnterFrame = function() { }

  Let me rephrase that, your syntax is not incorrect, but you will probably have better luck with the syntax i suggested.

  Probably better practice to use a listener. I should probably take my own advice.
