Hi, april.
I really didn't pay much attention at first. At a glance it seemed you was
concatenating the variable. You don't need to use Eval() in this case.
On the other hand, it seems that you're using the variables _x and _y
losely.
If you want to get the _x and _y properties of the movieclip you should use
GetProperty("",_x) and GetProperty("",_y).
If you trace your ../:drag_left_hand1_score it will probably show 1 all
right.
