I know I am a total noob to flash, but is there a way to make a button that has a number that goes up each time you click it in actionscript 3? If so please HELP ME!!!

If you created a button and assigned it an instance name "btn", the following code will do what you ask...

var clickCount:int = 0;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addClick);

function addClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {

      clickCount++;

}

Well, where is the number of clicks supposed to show up?

if you have a dynamic text, give it the instance name _clickTxt

covert clickCount in to a string

_clickTxt.text = clickCountString;
