Ok well i have a simple money script [for my game] and i want to say, ok when i walk over a coin, i want it to add $5 to the total amount of money, but the problem is, is that my code doesnt work,  
in the frame actions i have:

```auto
money = 0;

```

and in the hitTest for the coin i have:

```auto
if (_root.dude.hitTest(_root.coin) {
		_root.money +1
	}

```

If im doing something wrong, can someone point it out, it would be much appreciated.  
Thank You In Advance. 🙂
