[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hello,[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I am trying to do a simple Memory Game in Flash 8. The examples I have found are much more complicated than what this game needs to be so I was trying to create my own from scratch. There is no random needed just 8 cards on the screen so 4 matches total. When they get a match the pair visibility turns off and when they are all matched it goes to a finished screen. I have all of that working great but I am having 2 problems.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Problem 1:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]When the user selects the wrong card that isn’t a match I need it to flip back over and set the variables back to 0. I can’t figure out how to do this without writing a conditional statement for each possible order the user could select them in.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Problem 2:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]When they select the second card and it is a match the match disappears which is good but it goes so quickly that the user doesn’t even have time to see that they got the match. I would like it to delay so it doesn’t disappear so fast.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I would really appreciate any help here. I have attached the FLA file so you can look at the functionality.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Thanks so much!!![/SIZE][/FONT] **[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Movie Clips On
