Re: FLASH: AS - scoring/values

[Nathan Dicken]

Russell,


Assuming that your project is similar to the classic Concentration game,

you could have each mc (item) contain a variable of it's identity that gets

passed on to the stage when clicked.  You can monitor which click this is

(first or second) and when a item is clicked for the match (2nd click),

compare its identity to the identity that is residing on the stage...  If

they are equal then you have a match, you can then run a script to monitor

how many matches you have left.


After a pair of items are selected, just reset the identity variable on the

stage and get ready for two more to be selected.  Of course there are many

ways that you could approach this idea.  In the description that you

provided for setting the values to 0 or 1, you'd have to initially set the

value to 1 for the first clicked item, then cycle through the top or bottom

items (whichever is opposite) and set the matching mc's value to 1 and the

rest to 0.  Once two items have been clicked, add their values and respond

accordingly.  Hope this helps...
