[AS3] Simple score counter

[in_bloom]

Hi, I'm completely new to Flash and AS3 and I've got a small issue...

On my stage I have a simple button and a dynamic text field for score.

Each time you click the button the counter should add 1 point to the score number

this is my code:

___________________________________

var score:uint;

scoreinstance.text = " " + score;

this.addpointbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK ,clickListener1);
function clickListener1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
score ++;
}

___________________________________

the buttons instance name is addpointbtn. I've clicked on the dynamic text field and chosen Embed and simply added a Font 1 to it.. No idea why I had to do this but I got an error message if I didn't.

Would someone please help me make this work?

Here's what you need:

var score:uint;

scoreinstance.text = "0";

this.addpointbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK ,clickListener1);
function clickListener1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
score ++;
scoreinstance.text = String(score);
}

You needed to update the score text AFTER the button is clicked, not before.

A tip for you: if you don't want to mess around with embedded fonts, just sent the font type to 'sans'
