I’m trying to build a counter and have it display in a dynamic text box. I want to add 31.67 to the dynamic text box every 12 frames, or every second. I’m using onEnterFrame…  
counter++…with an if statement for the counter…if (counter\>11)…prisonCosts+=31.67…it doesn’t work. The if statement doesn’t seem to respond to the counter…  
tried all day…
