Ok it seems your going to need to make sure this is on an enterFrame

stop();

onEnterFrame = function ()

{ if (points > 3); { trace ('win') }

}

By not putting it in an enterFrame event your only check if points > 3 once(when the frame loads) by putting it in an enterFrame event your checking all the time.

[snunicycler]

what happens if you /=0? since you can't divide by 0

[sasuke2910]

@snunicycler

a /= 0;

If 'a' is greater then 0, then it will be 'Infinity'

If 'a' is less then 0, then it will be '-Infinity' (negative Infinity)

If 'a' is 0, then it will be 'NaN' (Not a number)

If you try to use 'Infinity' or '-Infinity' in an equation it will act like 0.

This answer you question?

Ya could of just traced this stuff ya know. XD

Uhhhhhh.... O.O ? my brain broke

[sasuke2910]

@kotomimaya If you need something explained better I'd be happy to do it.

[lorenzog4545]

how can I draw the variable on the screen?

[sasuke2910]

@lorenzog4545 You can't... You can set them to display in a textbox on the stage if that's what you mean. Or do you mean that trace thing?

i dont get it in the first frame i put

var manSpeed = 4;

then for my character the actionscript is all correct but when i take this

this._x += 4;

and replace the 4 with manSpeed it doesn't do anything how would i get it to accept variables that i set?

[billkinz1998]

i need a point system and when i try this it always says win

stop();

if (points > 3);

{ trace ('win')

}
