I want a game to end when the player reaches a score of 2500. I tried an if statement and a go to and play command but neither have worked. Here’s what the code calculating the score looks like:  
(NOTE: This code works fine)

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
this.\_x+=laserMoveSpeed;  
if (this.\_x\>600){  
this.removeMovieClip();  
}  
for (i=1; i\<=\_root.numEnemy; i++){  
if (this.hitTest( \_root[“enemy”+i])){  
\_root.score+=100;  
\_root[“enemy”+i].gotoAndPlay( 2 );  
}  
}  
}

I tried doing something like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
this.\_x+=laserMoveSpeed;  
if (this.\_x\>600){  
this.removeMovieClip();  
}  
for (i=1; i\<=\_root.numEnemy; i++){  
if (this.hitTest( \_root[“enemy”+i])){  
\_root.score+=100;  
\_root[“enemy”+i].gotoAndPlay( 2 );  
if ( score \>= 2500 )  
gotoAndPlay ( 5 );  
}  
}  
}

but it didn’t work. Can I get a helping hand to tell me what I’m doing wrong?
