I was kinda wondering how to make global var’s?  
I made a variable at the main time line  
var goodch:Number = 0;  
if (goodch==5)  
{gotoandplay(4);}

And a string at a movie clip that adds +1 to goodch when clicked.  
on (press)  
{goodch +=1;}

I’ve pressed 5 times, nothing happened. Trace(goodch) always return undefined and trace(int(goodch)) always 0 ;
