Creating A New Movie Clip (help!)

[exzeta]

Well im makin a game what i want is that when my characters touches an item (instance name "point")
Add 10, make the "point" dissapear AND create another point.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)) {

_root.score.text += 10;
unloadMovie(this);

}

}

Thats the code for adding the score and making it dissapear (right?) but how do i create another "point" in a different `lace

Eh, don't use unloadMovie, just use removeMovieClip(this).

but how do i create another "point" in a different `lace

Go learn about attachMovie.
OR just move your current coin in a different place.
EX:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)) {

_root.score.text += 10;
this._x = (put your new x here)
this._y = (put your new y here)
}

}

Attaching a movie with attachMovie is the best solution though.

}

}

I don't exactly remember why but I know it had something to do with performance.

@Exzeta:

Put this on your main frame:

var Score:Number = 0;
function onEnterFrame() {
scores.text = Score
}

And put this on your coin:

if (this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)) {
_root.Score+=10
}

So change your textbox's instance to "scores" and put those codes in the right place :)

[exzeta]

my code for adding the score is like this

if (this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)) {

_root.score.text +=10;
removeMovieClip(this);

What should i do?

Yeah it does, using unload movie removes the contents of a movieclip and its custom properties but it does not remove the actual movieclip or its basic properties. Hence it can still be referenced and is taking up (only a little bit) of memory.

Thanks my problems are solved now
