what are you trying to do? make your dynamic text box display “100”?  
if so, this is what your code should look like:

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.acc.text = "100";
}

```

Im trying to set a variable which is going to be 100 but its not working when I type in

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.acc = 100;  
}

the above doesn’t work either. This is in Mx 2004.

Where are you placing that code? It should be on a movieclip or if you want it on a frame use simply \_root.acc = 100;  
It would be better if you provide the error message.

just place it on a frame and use \_root.acc= 100.  
like claudio said, if you want it like that it should be on a clip.
