Hi, I don't undertstand why this is working

main script firts frame :

this.on("gameover", function() {

     this.gotoAndStop('gameover');

});

with this in a clip :

this.dispatchEvent("gameover", true);

but this function in the main script is not working:

function eval(){

   if(clics==maxClics){

    this.dispatchEvent("gameover", true);

   }

}

thanks and merry christmas

    so you can rule out the last option if that's all on the same timeline.  these three possible issues remain:

    clics may not be defined (in that function)

    maxClics may not be defined (in that function)

    this may not be defined in that function

    use console.log to debug.

    There's already a global "eval" function in JavaScript. You can't override it.

    clics may not be defined (in that function)

    maxClics may not be defined (in that function)

    this may not be defined in that function

    and you may not be dispatching from the correct timeline

    Hi, first i changed the function name as  ClayUUID suggested it. with no better success.

    For kglad remarq : this is the whole code, all in the first frame, first level:

    this.on("gameover", function() {

         this.gotoAndStop('gameover');

    });

    function  evalscore(){
       if(clics==maxClics){
        this.dispatchEvent("gameover", true);
       }
    }

    function obj_bon(obj) {

        score++;

        clics++;
        evalscore();
    }
