Help With Minigame

[Capconami]

I have a game where a Head Moves Around. You Get 10 points everytime you poke its eyes.
I have A motion tweening of the movie clip... You know what. Hang on.

I Cannot Put the score in the In the Movie clip With the eye Buttons because it is moving,
And I dont want the Score to move. How do i get it to stay put?

The reason i have to put the score there is because It wont work If the score and the Buttons that add the score are in two seperate movie clips!! Is there any way to fix this?

Answering either of those questions will help.

You're talking about it moving around, so I'm asking for your code so I can see how you're moving it.

Variables aren't stored in MCs. You can display a variable in a text box which can be in an MC, but you could just make a text box and put it in the corner, call it scoreBox, then add this code to the main timeline:

scoreBox.text = yourScoreVariable;

I assume by 'reached' you mean that it's got to a certain value.

if (variable == something)
{
    //do stuff
}

Alright

Score = "0";

if (Score = 10) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 7);
}

But it sets the score to 10! Suggestions

Read the stuff people give you carefully. He had a double == which is a conditional operator rather than an assignment operator, score = 10 being score should now equal 10. Also dont do score = "0", if your score is going to be a number all the time, then dont put quotes. " "s are for Strings (used for like names and such other things )

Well, you set score to equal "0" with quotes... Try removing the quotes on the 0.

OH no wait, scratch that. The score went to 0 because you can't carry variables to another scene (I think). Change the frame that the movie goes to when the condition is reached to a frame in the same scene.

Now How Do I make it Generate A random object?

Be more specific. What sort of object? From the library or drawing API?

Look up Math.random() and attachMovie() in the Flash help files (F1).
