How to solve this problem with these variables in timeline?

Question

I have been making a random dice roll game in Flash CS5.

When a user rolls the dice, a random face is thrown and that value is added to score. The concept of the game is, the player must get 20 points in 10 tries. I didn't use external classes, instead I used the code in timeline.

The problem I have is the score is not getiing added up and the triesLeft variable is not decreasing by one.

I used

triesLeft--;//initial value is 10

and for the face value frames,

i used

score+=1;//initial value is 0

score+=2;

and so on...

i think the function runs only once.

this is the swf file of this game.

if anybody need source files to see the problem more clearly i will upload it.

i think the function runs only once.correct.You have to put your functionality inside a functionfor example:function rollDice(e:MouseEvent):void{ triesLeft--;//plus anything you might need done}then make a movieclip/button instance on stage and add the eventlistener above to itmyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rollDice);
