I used the code i found here  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/score.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/score.htm)  
to create some simple scoring.  
It works fine but when i drop it on a fla im working on, the text box thats supposed to show the score displays the text ‘NaN’ instead of the score.  
What could possibly be wrong.

heres the original code

```auto
on (release) { _root.total = _root.total + 100; }

```

and heres what i edited it to be (im doing some drag and drop stuff

```auto
on (release) {
		stopDrag();
		if (this._droptarget=="/male") {
		setProperty(this, _x, 306.0);
		setProperty(this, _y, 65.0);
		_root.sob.gotoAndPlay ("happy");
                 _root.total = _root.total + 100
	}

```

This code is on a button by the way
