So I want this *bonus* to move accross the screen if the score is a multiple of 500,

 

bonus_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(score_var ){

this._x +=bonus_speed;

if (this._x > Stage.width)

{

  this._y = random(Stage.height/3);

  this._x = -20;

}

}

}

    Use the modulus operator to see if a value is a multiple of a number.  If the result is 0 you have a multiple of the value.  Since you specified two different values, your choices are...

     

    if(score_var % 10 == 0){

    or

    if(score_var % 500 == 0){

    And since a score_var of 0 would also produce a 0 result, if you do not want that included, then build it into the conditional as well.
