Create a counter in AS3

[Ridleyl]

Hi I am busy building an escape the room type game where the user must find 6 items in a room before they can leave the room.  I have almost build the room however I want to include a counter that displays how many items have been found.  So when a item is found on the stage the counter would increase by one until a target is reached at which point the user would be able to exit the room.  Any ideas how i would code this counter??

assign a variable to track the items and initialize it to zero when a room is entered (if that's what you want):

var itemNum:int = 0;

increment the counter when an item is found:

itemNum++;

I have created the variable and set to 0.  However i'm not sure how to get it to add one when an item on the stage is clicked on??  What would this look like??  Any help would be great

Thanks in anticipation

it looks like this:

itemNum++;
