Hey there,

I’m trying to create a simple quiz with a few questions, the code I have below doesn’t seem to work. It comes up with my final score as -15 all the time, its not even checking to see if the answer is correct, as soon as I load the movie the Output comes out as -5 -10 -15, and answers would be appreciated.

quizBut.onRelease = function() {  
totalOutput\_txt.text = “Your final score is: “+score+”/30.”;  
};  
score = 0;  
if (\_root.answer1 == “flush”) {  
score += 10;  
} else {  
score -= 5;  
}  
trace(score);  
if (\_root.answer2 == “straight”) {  
score += 10;  
} else {  
score -= 5;  
}  
trace(score);  
if (\_root.answer3 == “123”) {  
score += 10;  
} else {  
score -= 5;  
}  
trace(score);
