Hi,

I have a comple game now, and it works. But there is one this. Its a kind of shooter. If you hit, you get points, if you miss you lose points. This works fine. But the problem is . When the game stars, you have 0 points. But nothing shows in the score display untill you shoot (hit or miss doesn’t matther)

And i’ve made a reset button in the game, that you can start over. If you use this button. Your score will go back to 0. This also works. But lets say you had a score of 500. And you reset. The scoredisplay will show 500 untill you shoot. Then it just counts from 0 to what you should have.

**So to get to the point** 😛  
How can I make it that the starting score (the 0) Is visible?

//Btw i’ve already been told to try and set all parameters to the myScore But i’ve tried

```auto
myScore.visible=true;

```

etc. But I can see the score… Only not the starting value.
