moving away from code snippets

Question

I have a basic knowledge of Animate, and so far have relied on code snippets to achieve what I need. However I am developing a game where the user has to click on a choice of 14 buttons in the correct sequence to progress thought the level. The number of clicks needed in each sequences different. I am currently doing this by:-

stop();

Button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MoveOnBTN1);

function MoveOnBTN1(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndPlay(19);

}

stop();

Button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MoveOnBTN2);

function MoveOnBTN2(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndPlay(24);

}

The other buttons turn red if they are clicked on to show the incorrect sequence.

Is there a way of keeping track of the correct clicks and showing the user a percentage of correct clicks at the end of each level?

I also have a help button, this helps the user click the next button in the sequence, would there be a way of showing how many times the help button is used?

Sorry that this is so very specific!

Thank you in advance for any help.

there is, but it's going to be messy with the approach you've taken.

it would be simpler to implement, expand and debug to use something like:

var button_num:int = 0;

var correct_num:int;

var incorrect_num:int;

var correct_buttonA:Array = [12,11,3,1,etc..]; // Button_12 should be clicked first, then Button_11, then 3, then 1 etc

for(var i:int=;i<correct_buttonA.length;i++){

this["Button_"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonF);

}

function buttonF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(e.currentTarget.name=="Button_"+correct_buttonA[button_num];

correct_num++;

button_num++;

// indicate correct button was clicked

if(button_num==correct_buttonA.length-1){

// game over. do whatever

}

} else {

incorrect_num++;

// turn e.currentTarget red

}

var help_num:int=0;

help_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,helpF);

function helpF(e:MouseEvent):void{

help_num++;

// the correct button is "Button_"+correct_buttonA[button_num];

}
