Adobe Flash CS4 Code

[wysper]

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 )
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 [/list]

OH!..i for got to put..i have a dragable burger, and it reacts to the man..he gets bigger when the burger is released over his body..so..that might help

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).

i'll try that next period..thanx

would i be applying that to the frame, or a specific object?

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

I GOT IT..kinda..lol

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.
