[Flash8] - Dynamic Text box and adding values

Hello all:

First post and I’m hoping that somebody can help me out. I’m not a programmer but have been using Flash for awhile. This is my first heavy dive into variables.

I’m putting together a Quiz game where I pull the information from a txt file. I can get everything to display and work fine except for the adding of a total score.

Here is the gist:

I have a series of values in a text file and load it into my movie. Depending upon what button I push, I want to take the value and add it to the total score. The next button I push I want it to add that value to the new total score.

I’ve enclosed a file for reference. Any help would be great appreciated.
