Hello everyone.

I need some help to add a Function to reset the scores. This is my action script. I found this quiz and this is the action script. Now, I want to create a reset button because when I repeat the game, the score is visible and I don’t want that. So, I’m thinking of creating a reset button to clear the scores. Or if you can add a Function to clear it.

Please I need help.

Regards,

jazgirl
