Hello everyone,

I have used the script for adding score to a game from the advanced tutorials section and it works fine. The only problems I still have with it are:

1- it discounts 100 points every time the users click on the same wrong button. I would like the button to work only once since this is for an educational game.

2- when I go back to the first frame, the latest score is already there. How can I erase the score or set it to “0” when the scene is reloaded?

Appreciate your help.

Sawy

1- for the button code, after everything you want done is done, type in \_root.whateveryourbuttoniscalled.enabled = false;  
if the button is located in a movie clip, type:  
\_root.movieclip.button.enabled =false;  
2- whatever your score variable is(for example score), type in score = 0;
