[Year 12 IPM] flash tutorial problem

[tony at star.melb.catholic.edu.au]

G'day Andrew,

Please find attached Flash 8 file with a "score" example for you.

I believe your problem may be because the variable "score" is not given an 
initial value ie, score = 0;

Have a look at the attachment - it's pretty self explanatory.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
TJ
