I have posted this question befor but was asked to be more specific, so here goes.I have made a little cricket game wher the fielder has to catch the ball.There are three different game speeds,slow, medium and fast. I keep score using a dynamic text box and use the code \_root.total = \_root.total+1.When the scor reaches 15 I need the game to go to the next speed level.How will I do this?

```php
total = 0
function addScore() {
total++;
if (total>= 15){
//change speed code goes here
}
}
```
Add that to a keyframe in the main timeline, then instead of doing \_root.total = \_root.total+1 just do \_root.addScore() it will run the function as shown above. What that function does is takes the variable total, and increments it by 1 (equvilent of \_root.total = \_root.total+1). Then it checks if total is greater or equal to 15, and if it is, it does whatever you tell it to do in there.
