ok. say i have 2 dynamic boxes one named “experience” and the other “lvl”. how would i make it so that when experience is greater or equal to 1000, lvl goes + 1 i tried this but it doesn’t seem to work. Any suggestions?

\_root.lvl += 1;
}[/left]

You want the text inside lvl to increase? You’ll have to convert the string to a number, add one, then convert it back to text and output that as lvl.text =

I don’t have flash in front of me at the moment but this will get you started
in your if statement:
- set a variable equal to what is in the dynamic text field
- lookup Number( ) in the flash reference. It converts whatever is in the parentheses into a number
- add one
- lookup String( ) in the flash reference. Same as Number but converts to text
- set lvl.text = “your variable”

Well the problem I see is that you named one textbox experience but the code refers to one name exper ensure you have the variables correct
