I'm a little new to the website so im unsure if this is the proper place to post this..but i need help writing and understanding code for Adboe Flash CS4..so if some one knows the language, please help me.

I'm making a game where you feed a man a burger and he gets lbigger (its a cheesy game, but its for school Razz)
i have a timer everything works(kinda) but i need to know how to make a counter..something to let the people who play know how many burgers they've fed the man.
i made a dynamic text with three zeros and static text saying "Burgers Fed" but im unsure of the code i need to make it all work.

i havent the slightest how to post a file in this so i could show what i have done so far..so if someone could tell me how, that would also be very helpful, ty for your help Smile[/list]

In the most brutal pseudo-code possible;

code:

var counter = 0
if (burger_released) {
    counter ++
}

//and then in your update loop or whatever
dynamic_text_box.text = counter


I haven't used flash in a while, and I've never used CS4, so I don't know if it's changed since, but that should work with tweaking (replacing conditionals and variable names with actual code).

This would be in the document class, though it could be implemented on the burger.

it works on a test..but the actual counter doesnt move..the output table shows counting..but the dynamic text box just..chills there :/

Then you aren't telling it what to do properly. Or flash is just being stupid and you should switch to a language that isn't being phased out.
