I have this when the scores should be increasing:  
[AS]\_root.score +=4;[/AS]  
It works the first time and goes from 0 to 4, but any time after that it just adds fours. So in the end it ends up saying “4444444444” or something. I tried it this way also:  
[AS]\_root.score = \_root.score+4;[/AS]  
But that didn’t work either. It just did the same thing. Help please! ☹
