I don't know if that's the problem, but when the game is loaded, it is impossible to fire. The enemy just continues running across the screen even when shot. I don't know if that cleared anything up. | |

But, I think the problem I'm having is when I need to add a the action script to the main time. Does the script create the other frames for you, or do I add them? If so, keyframes/frames? Sorry for all the trouble. | |

| Archbob Rank: Group: Head Administrator Posts: 194 IP Logged PM ID: 2 [PM Archbob] | Posted at Tue Oct 09, 2007 12:00:29 Edit post|Quote You need to add a variable called score first and then increment that score by 10 every time a face is killed. To show the score, you would use an dynamic text-box. | |

You don't actually need any action script for it. Just make a new variable called score in the main timeframe and do something like score=score+10 when an enemy dies. | |

There's onclick event that detects a hitTest between the smiley and the crosshair put _root.score+=10 there. As for the layer question, you can always specify a depths in the duplicate movie Clip function and change the cliff depths by using swapDepths(). | |
