I have created a simple slot machine type game and each time you press the spin button you lose 1 coin. Got that no problem. I can’t seem to figure out how to add points to total score when one of the dynamic text brings up a certain number.  
I have three dynamic text fields that bring up random numbers when the spin button is pressed.  
this is the script i have tried.  
on (release) {  
\_root.total=\_root.total-1;  
if(\_root.quote\_txt==7){  
\_root.total=\_root.total+10;  
}  
quote\_txt is the instance name for my first text field, and total is my var for the score box.  
I hope i’ve made sense of what i’m trying to do.  
Please help, thanx.
