Detecting Score..how?

Detecting Score?
I was wondering if there was a way to detect the score? I was thinking of getting to a certain score then moving onto a new scene/level and each time it getting a little harder. My Question---How do I have it detect the score and put it into actionScript so that it goes from Scene 1 to Scene 2?

Setting Variable Score = Score + 1 Justs Adds Another Digit With 1
I am trying to work on how to add 1 each time to a text. I used the variable name score and a button has this command :
(on pressing the button) score = score + 1

It changes the text of score but each time you click it, it adds a new digit. this is the example of the first four times.

0 01 011 0111

Can anyone help me? My goal is to make it become

0 1 2 3 and so on.

Thank you

Save Score And Put In Array To Pull Up All Score Later
Can you help please. I am new to this.
I have a list of people who answer 3 questions on 5 different topics. I can total their scores on the topic individually.
How do I total the first topic and show them and save their answers and go to the next topic and show their answers and next and so on and then get all the questions they answered for each of the 5 topics and their final score?

Best Way To Add A Score To A Score Box And Total It Up.
I am creating a game for children to make good food choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I need to have the food choice add a value to a score box when clicked onto the plate and subtract the same amount when clicked off. So far, all I have been able to do is get the score to appear in the upper left hand corner. When I can get the pancakes working properly, I will be adding other foods which will do the same thing with different numbers. The total score cannot go over 100. I am attaching the .as code, but it is separate from the .fla and I'm not sure if I can upload the .fla here.







Attach Code

package
{
//import any class being used by this package
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class MealGame extends MovieClip
{

//altered version
var pancakes1:Pancakes;
var offPlate:Boolean; //variable for food off the plate
var gameScore:int = 0;

public function MealGame()
{
//Create a score field for the pancakes.
var gameScoreField:TextField = new TextField();
//Show the score field
addChild(gameScoreField);
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

//Create a new instance of the Pancake class.
var pancakes1:Pancakes = new Pancakes();
//Display the pancakes on this stage.
this.addChild(pancakes1);

//Position the food item.
pancakes1.x = 11;
pancakes1.y = 42;
offPlate = true;

//make the food item a button
pancakes1.buttonMode = true;
pancakes1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

//toggle the food item to put on plate or off the plate
//toggle adding to the score or removing from the score
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(offPlate)
{
pancakes1.x = 119;
pancakes1.y = 380;
//add to score
gameScore = gameScore + 50;
gameScoreField.text = " " + String(gameScore);
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.bold = true;
tf.color = 0x000000;
tf.size = 22;
//tf.x = 426;
//tf.y = 530;

//Take this text formatting object; apply it to the textfield
gameScoreField.setTextFormat(tf);

//toggle the offPlate value
offPlate = !offPlate;
}
else
{
pancakes1.x = 11;
pancakes1.y = 42;
//remove from score
gameScore = gameScore - 50;
gameScoreField.text = " " + String(gameScore);
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.bold = true;
tf.color = 0x000000;
tf.size = 22;
//tf.x = 426;
//tf.y = 530;

//Take this text formatting object; apply it to the textfield
gameScoreField.setTextFormat(tf);
offPlate = !offPlate;
}

Score :: Help
Hello Flashers,

I have a client who want me to do a skill testing question game. I have 10 questions with a,b,c answers. When the user answers right they get 10 points, if wron nothing.

I have a dynamic text box with a varialble name "score". in the first frame of the movie I have the action:
/:score = "0";
When the user click the right answer it adds +10 to "score", simple enough.

My problem is at the end of the quiz, we want to put a phrase depending on the score, like "you suck" if you get 10 points or "great job" for 90 points. How can I control a tellTarget or a dynamic text box to display a phrase depending on the total of "score"?

The .fla file can be downloaded here> http://www.epochwebdesign.com/flockrelief/game1.fla

Thanks

Score
I have a score-system for a game that is not working right.

The score works well when I delete a point, but not when I add a point. The problem is that when I add a point, it just adds the point to the end of the number that allready is in the score...

Example:
Lets say I have 10 points, and need to add a point. I want it to be 11, but instead it becomes 101.

This is the code I am using:

-This is working fine:
_root.score2.score -=1

-This is not working:
_root.score2.score +=1

Has anyone had any experience with this sort of problem?

Thanks in advance!

Totting Up A Score
Hello there everyone. If they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then I am dangerous!!!!! I have a question, and to be honest I haven't searched through the tutorials because I don't really know what I'm looking for (told you I was dangerous). Anyway, to my question...

I'm creating an interactive quiz in Flash 4 for my website, and so far so good, but what I want to do is add up the total of correct answers by the user to give a grand total at the end of the quiz. I know it can be done, but I don't know a variable from a dirigable, so if you can help, you have my permission to speak to me as though I'm an idiot... just so long as I understand LOL.

If it's any help, you can view the quiz on my site at http://www.morgueazm.co.uk and if you're not a metalhead, please don't be offended by any of the content on my site.
Thanks in advance.

Combo-score
I need a suggestion here. I'm developping a game with about 6 different moves/actions to score points. So far so good. But now I want to insert a 'combo-score'. This combo-score can only be scored when the player first does move1 (with succes), then move3 (with succes) and then move5 (with succes). The moves have to be made in that particular order and no other move is allowed between them. I've tried some stuff, but I... argh!!! So if there is a whizz out there, give it a try!

If...else And Score Problems
Hi there! Hope somebody can help me! I have made 5 draggable clips with instance names: clip1, clip2,clip3,.. and 5 targets: target1, target2, target3,... I´ve programmed it so that each clip can be dragged an dropped on any target. But only one combination is of course right (clip1 = target1, clip2 = target2..etc)
My problem is that, when the user has placed each clip over each target I want the user to push a "check your answer" button to be able to see a list of right and wrong answers, the final score and different funny movieclips depending on what the score is. For example:

Clip1 INCORRECT !
Clip2 CORRECT !
Clip3 INCORRECT !
Clip4 CORRECT !
Clip5 CORRECT !

You scored 3/5

How Do I Display A Score Of Zero?
I've gotten to the point where I can display a score at the end of a Flash quiz including 'score-appropriate' comments such as: "You're a Flanders!" (if they do well, of course) or "D'oh!" if they do poorly.

But what if they score a Zero, get none right. (Moe?) What script do I need to return a score of '0' at quiz end?

Thank you in advance, you scripters of Great Knowledge...
