Hi,

I need some help with AS2, using global variable to track game scores throughout the game.

The game has 7 questions. Each frame will have one question and 3 answer options (they are in buttons).

If you get the right answer, the user will be taken to a new frame where he/she is congratulated.  
If you get the wrong answer, the user will be taken to another new frame where the correct answer is given.  
Right/Wrong answer frame will have a “next” button on the bottom for the user to move to the next question.

Now here is where I need help with!  
I want to have a score board in every frame. Each time the user makes the right choice, he/she is given 1 or 5 points. If not, no score is given.  
Since I am moving from frame to frame I know I have to use a global variable.

I’m a beginner when it comes to AS2 so if anyone can give me a detailed code in how to make the scores possible, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
