I’ve been using flash mx for about a week now, and i’ve looked over some advanced tutorials such as (games keeping score, creating text scroller, loading text from external sources). I decided to make a game similar to (Wack a mole) after looking at the “Game Keeping Score” tutorial.

Here is my file… Is there another way thats quicker to write it up? Since if i follow this way. I will have to generate more random numbers and create some boxes that get you negative points.

- How do you make a timer, so when the time runs out you lose. Any suggestions on what i can do?

## My goal: trying to learn macromedia flash and make an all flash website and make flash games. Even tho i’m probably not going to maintain a career in this area.
