FLASH: Help!!

[Cuauhtemoc Rojas]

Hi ....


I ask for your help!!!


I'm developing a game in Flash. The graphic parts were kind of

easy ... but the "programming" parts are a nightmare.

(and hope that I make sense, my english is not so good)


I need two things:


- keep an score. I made one once with telltarget actions, so

when you have a point the movie with the score moves one frame ...

but now the points has values ... if hits a card "5", it has

to add 5 points, if hits a card "3", add 3 points ... and so on.

I have movies called "5points", "3points", and so on, which I

made because I know that only movies can have an instance name

and you can assign actions to them ... I believe that I have to 

make a textfield that have to add the point according to which

movie is targeted (sp?) 


- adding dificulty ... this is a game of the kind "you vs. the 

computer" so, when the time of the game end, it has to compare 

score. If you made more points than computer, go to scene "youwin" 

and play the movie. If computer wins, go to scene "computerwin" and 

play the corresponding movie. I have a hint that somewhere it had

to be an action which take both values and compares them, maybe

some kind of 


if "valueyou" > "valuecomp"

Begin Tell Target ("..")

  Goto and play youwin

End Tell Target

else

  Goto and play computerwin


I searched several web sites and read some books on Flash, but

didn't found any help ... I ask you for help on this issues.

I assure it will be extremely appreciated.


As this being an issue of advanced actionsript ... I really want

to know if there is a book or website which covers this issue.

I don't know if the issues which I ask for help are really easy.

The Flash user manual doesn't cover this really well, in my

opinion ... Can you recomend a book or a web site?? 


Thanks in advance
