Ok so I’ve started another project, a pong game, it’s nearly finished except for the scorecount.

On the ball movieclip:

if (this.\_x\>\_root.Pad.\_x) {  
\_root.LeftScore += 1;  
}  
if (this.\_x\<\_root.EnPad.\_x) {  
\_root.RightScore += 1;  
}

So if the ball is behind a paddle give the score to the opposite player. This is onClipEvent (EnterFrame) so it’s doing it every frame.

On the Actions frame:

LeftScore = 0;  
RightScore = 0;  
stop();

Give it a enterframe

and make the dynamic “scoreboard” a “var” and link em with the other script 🙂

the left dynamic board should have:

```auto
 LeftScore

```

as Variable

and the right

```auto
RightScore

```

ricer that doesn’t explain too much to someone that doesn’t know exactly how to do it, now i think you might be using little line as walls? or not, i wish you would have explained your setup a little better…

frame:

```auto

var LeftScore:Number = 0;
var RightScore:Number = 0;
stop();

```

ball:

```auto

on(EnterFrame){

 if (this._x>_root.Pad._x) {
trace("left")
_root.LeftScore++;
};

if (this._x<_root.EnPad._x) {
trace("right")
_root.RightScore ++;
};

}

```

now the score will increase not sure what your problem exactly was but after that you only wan’t it to add score once so i would make a function that will reset the game if you don’t already have it in your version
