Variables and adding.

[FluffyPapes]

So, apparently something is going wrong because it's giving me the error of "Type mismatch found in assignment statement: found Number where money is required."

class money extends MovieClip
{
var money;

function onLoad()
{
money = 0;
}

function onEnterFrame()
{
if(_root.alexf.hitTest(this))
{
money ++;
_x = Math.random()*400;
_y = Math.random()*400;
trace(money);
}
}
}

That's my actionscript for the money, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Also, when I took out the "money = 0;" in onLoad().. it started working. But the trace values under the hitTest gave me a "NaN"

What if you say var money:Number; ?

[FluffyPapes]

I didn't think of that, but it still didn't work.

The source it says it's coming from is in the onLoad() function.

It's saying the problem is:

money = 0;

on the loading screen of your game put
_root.onEnterframe = function()
{
money = 0;
}

that way its not constantly setting the money to 0 whenever a new function is preformed

[CyanBlue]

That does not really make sense...
What do you get with this???
class money extends MovieClip
{
var money:Number;

function onLoad()
{
money = 0;
}
}
Hm... Don't you need a constructor in AS2 class???

The loading screen?

I don't have a loading screen haha.

and I don't do the coding in Windows> Actions [F9]

I make separate AS Files because I'm too used to Java

By constructor what do you mean?
The point of that was because if I don't set the money to 0, it has no value. So if I get to the onEnterFrame() function, then there will be nothing to ++ to. If it's ++ing on a non-number, it'll return a value of NaN

well just make a very first frame infront of everything hit f9 and copy paste that code onto that main frame and all your problems will be solved, from then on you can still continue to make seperate as files

Believe it or not, it didn't help.

It just added a second instance of the problem.

[orange gold]

well you also have to delete the original one and make sure the code isnt on the frame with the real game. make it on a blank frame at the very start

[CyanBlue]

I meant the constructor that you normally use in the class file like this...
//
class Money extends MovieClip {
var money:Number;

function Money()
{
money = 0;
}
}

[FluffyPapes]

Oh, no.

You don't need that, the only requisite is that the class name and the AS file name needs to be the same

[CyanBlue]

Well... I have made a quick example based on your code, and I don't get the error message... Can you compare it with yours or can you create a simple sample out of what you have???

[FluffyPapes]

I fixed it.

It was getting an error because it was trying to get something from a different class.

I converged the classes and it works fine now

[CyanBlue]

Cool... :)
