anyway, theres probably something simple I’m overlooking here, but it is a bit of a complicated script.  
Its a memory card game and when \_root.turn = “computer” it should run through the computers script, but it doesn’t even get the first block, and the if loops might be a little shaky.

Functions

```auto

contains = function (input, arrayData) {
    for (i=0; i<arrayData.length; i++) {
        if (arrayData* == input) {
            return 1;
        }
    }
    return -1;
};
index = function (input, arrayData) {
    for (n=0; n<arrayData.length; n++) {
        if (arrayData[n] == input) {
            return n;
        }
    }
};

```

```auto

Memory = ["none"];
if (_root.turn == "computer") {
    pick = random(7);
    if (Card[pick].matched != true) {
        Card[pick].gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.Match = Card[pick].colour;
        _root.LastMatch = Card[pick];
        if (Card[pick]._currentframe == 7) {
            if (contains(Card[pick].matchy, Memory) == 1) {
                chance = random(100);
                if (chance<((100-10)-index(Card[pick].matchy, Memory))) {
                    Card[pick].matched = true;
                    Card[pick].matchy.matched = true;
                    Card[pick].gotoAndPlay(3);
                    Card[pick].matchy.gotoAndPlay(3);
                    compscore += 1;
                } else {
                    picky = Card[random(7)];
                    if (picky.matched != true) {
                        if (Card[pick].matchy == picky) {
                            Card[pick].matched = true;
                            Card[pick].matchy.matched = true;
                            Card[pick].gotoAndPlay(3);
                            Card[pick].matchy.gotoAndPlay(3);
                            compscore += 1;
                        } else {
                            Card[pick].gotoAndPlay(8);
                            picky.gotoAndPlay(8);
                            _root.turn = "player";
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

and you might want the card codes well to get some of the variables, each card has the same script except for the colours and matches

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
    stop();
    var colour = "green";
    var matchy = _root.CardGreen2;
    var matched = false;
}
on (release) {
    Memory.splice(index(this, Memory), 1);
    Memory.unshift(_root.CardGreen1);
    if (_root.Match == "Green") {
        this.gotoAndPlay(3);
        _root.CardGreen2.gotoAndPlay(3);
        _root.Match = "none";
        _root.Score += 1;
        this.enabled = false;
        this.matched = true;
        _root.CardGreen2.enabled = false;
        _root.CardGreen2.matched = true;
    } else {
        if (_root.Match != "none") {
            gotoAndPlay(8);
            _root.LastMatch.gotoAndPlay(8);
            _root.Match = "none";
            this.enabled = true;
            _root.LastMatch.enabled = true;
            _root.LastMatch = "none";
            _root.turn = "computer";
        } else {
            gotoAndStop(2);
            _root.Match = "Green";
            _root.LastMatch = this;
            this.enabled = false;
        }
    }
}

```
