This might seem a bit strange, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. I have no errors, I'm just trying to figure out how to add in a simple points system, which at the moment all I want it to do is keep track of itself. I made an external class for 'coins', and whenever you mouse over one, it disappears. I want to have it so that every time you do this, it adds 1 to the points variable. The problem is that the way I have it set up, it continuously resets every time the mouse over event listener is called, and stays at one, because I've added the event listener to the entire class. I know I could do it from the main class, but I have the 'coins' generated in a for loop so their placement will be random, and I really don't want to have to manually add every single one. Any suggestions on how to fix it so that it goes up one every time instead of resetting to 0?
Here is my current code, I'm only including the bits that are important.
this is the coin class (currently named enemy, since that's what it was originally going to be)
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class enemy extends MovieClip {
var points:uint = 0;
public function enemy() {
// constructor code
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveEnemys);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, disappear);
}
function disappear(event:MouseEvent)
{
this.visible = false;
points ++;
trace(points);
}
function moveEnemys(event:Event)
{
this.x -= 6;
}
}
}
Here is where I add it to the stage in the main class:
var en:enemy;
function addEnemy()
{
for (var i:int = 0; i<10; i++)
{
en = new enemy();
en.y = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 290) + 10;
en.x = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 1000) + 500;
addChild(en);
}
}
And in the output window, this is what I get after mousing over 6 of the coins:
1
1
1
1
1
1
