[AS2] Incrementing Correct Hits to Navigate Drag and Drop

[debsied]

Sorry - should have said - AS2

I'm sorry to post again on the same subject but the reply I got didn't help me and I am stuck.

I am trying to track the number of correct hits to navigate forward from a drag and drop game but it doesn't work.

I was told that it's because I need to increment the value of hitsNum after every stop drag but I thought I was doing that with hitsNum++;. The hits count up and display in the text but the gotoAndPlay doesn't work.

I am a beginner so please, if you are kind enough to reply, can you spell out for me what I need to do?

Thanks so much for your time.

var hits: Number = 0;
var hitsNum:Number = 1;

function updateHits(){
	hitsTxt.text = hits;

//commented out things I have tried to get the increment to work
mc.onRelease = function(){
	if (this.hitTest(target_mc))
		//hits += hitsNum;
		hits++;
		updateHits();
		mc._x = targetmc._x;
                mc._y = targetmc._y;
		//hits = hits + 1;
stopDrag();
		//hitsNum += 1;
                //hitsNum++;

//Various things I've tried for the gotoandPlay

        if (hitsNum==5) {
		
		this._parent.gotoAndPlay("end_page");
	}
	if (hits==5) {
		
		gotoAndPlay("end_page");
	}
	
	if (hits>=5) {
		
		this._parent.gotoAndPlay("end_page");
	}

In your present script hitsNum never increases, hits does.
So check for hits not hitsNum in an onEnterFrame function (you want it to continuously check the hits number, not just only once with a single if statement...), added at the end of your script...

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if (hits>=5) {
        gotoAndStop("end_page");
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
};

Aaaaaaah!!!! So simple when you know how!!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help. I am trying to learn from books and tutorials but nothing has helped me as much as the help I have had from this forum.

Thank you SO SO much!!!!
