Counting to 8 and starting over

[timwright]

My problem is that I can't seem to reset the countReg var back to 0 once it hits 8. Any ideas? I Would also like to have another button that count backwards to 0 and starts over again at 8.


var countReg:Number = 0;


function nextReg(event:MouseEvent) : void
{
if (countReg == 9)
{
(countReg == 0);
}
countReg++;

trace (countReg) // it just keeps counting up. won't start over after 8

}


this.next1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, nextReg);


THANKS MUCH

var countReg:Number;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextReg);

function nextReg(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    if (countReg < 8)
    {
        countReg++;
    }
    else
    {
        countReg = 0;
    }

    trace(countReg);
}

(countReg == 0);

There's your problem. Use a double equals == for an if statement, but if you want to assign a value, you need a single equals =. Just change it to:

countReg = 0;
