there is a really stupid problem out there i ve put some counter that when  
any player of the 2 players scored at 1st he counts his score only & when the other one score after while the engine doesn’t count it 2 the 2nd player so stupid…!i found out something that the compiler write the score 2 the 2nd player  
but in the shape of ones example: if i scored 6 points the compiler writes 111111 instead of 6 help…!  
:cubs:  
any way i dragged the file & if any one noticed some thing please let me know ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/755/062222e6fedaef86.gif)

You’re adding it as a string instead of an integer …

quick solution is to multiply the string by 1, or adding 0, then add the next string (do this again).

or, when setting up the score, define it live: var score\_1p = 0;  
and then when adding to the score, use: score++;  
and when subtracting: score–;

in fact nothing is wrong, your textfields are a couple of frames ahead the main stuff,  
so it would work if you declare the vars on first frame,

//on frame 1  
var mscore, ascore

i tested this and it seems to work
