Action Script 2.0 Help

[AwesomeIam]

I'm making a game and I need a code that places a lock over a button if the the kills are't high enough. In the lock movie clip I have these actions

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	if(kills < 10){
		this._x = US._x;
		this._y = US._y;
	}
}

And on the frame I have this

stop();

kills = 0;

What am I doing wrong?

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(kills < 10){
this._x = US._x;
this._y = US._y;
}
}

try changeing the if to:

if(_root.kills <10){

The MovieClip does not see the variable in the main frame. You need to make it a global variable, which is not usually recommended because it slows the program down if it is big. But instead of kills = 0 put...

_global.kills = 0

Put that on the frame, and also in the if statement. (of course without the = sign though, you know)

_global.kills

I tried that and I also tired ColdLogics method. Even a combinations of the two. It just doesn't seem to work... = [

No... you don't put _root. in front of a variable, I am sure of that, try just _global.kills

No, it's _root.

I've tested it, it works.
