hitTestObject score increases but it keeps going on.....

it should increase only one point when i drag crescent on start but it runs increasing point untill i remove it . any way to fix it ?

var score:Number=0;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCollision);

function checkCollision(event:Event) {

  // test star versus crescent

  if (star.hitTestObject(crescent)) {

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject:Yes";

  score=score+1;

  text1.text=String(score);

  } else {

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject: NO";

  }

}

if the collision continues, score will increase with each loop.

if you only want it to increase once (until there's no hit), use a boolean

var hitBool:Boolean

var score:Number=0;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCollision);

function checkCollision(event:Event) {

  // test star versus crescent

  if (star.hitTestObject(crescent)&&!hitBool) {

hitBool=true;

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject:Yes";

  score=score+1;

  text1.text=String(score);

  } else {

hitBool=false;  // <- if you want to allow another hit after a no-hit.

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject: NO";

  }

}

my error.  use:

var hitBool:Boolean

var score:Number=0;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCollision);

function checkCollision(event:Event) {

  // test star versus crescent

  if (star.hitTestObject(crescent)) {

if(!hitBool){

hitBool=true;

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject:Yes";

  score=score+1;

  text1.text=String(score);

}

  } else {

hitBool=false;  // <- if you want to allow another hit after a no-hit.

  messageText2.text = "hitTestObject: NO";

  }

}
