Score Timer.

Hi,

I am fairly new to ActionScript and i have recently started making a game in which you dodge falling enimies.

Does anyone know how i would make the score constantly count up?

And then stop when i hit an enemy.

Thanks.

it's easiest to use a number or int variable to keep the current score. eg,

var score:int = 0;

// and whenever you want to increase the score, call incrementScoreF and pass the amount to increment.

function incrementScoreF(n:int):void{

score+=n;

}

Thanks for the advice.

But all i really need is basically just a timer, counting up from 0.

then use the timer class:

var t:Timer=new Timer(1000,0);

t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeF);

t.start();

// use t.stop() when you hit an enemy

function timeF(e:TimerEvent):void{

// you can use t.currentCount

}
