variable won't update from higher level into root

[xanderman]

Hey
I am making search game. If the player has found all missing object a new page will load were they can download a song.
The problem is that I can't get the variable "allFound" update.

_level0:
frame 1: allFound = 0;
frame 2: some other code;
frane 3: gotoAndPlay(2);

_levelx:
onmouse release;
_root._level0.allFound = allFound+1;

It updates the allFound variable only ones.

I tried testing it with buttons wich are in level one and that works.
Why doesn't it work from a higher level into the root?

can anyone help me?

I think you should take out _root as this specifies the host _root and not the _level._root ie:


_level0:
frame 1: allFound = 0;
frame 2: some other code;
frane 3: gotoAndPlay(2);

_levelx:
on (release){
_level0.allFound++;
}

You were right about leaving out the root.
The second thing I did was changing the code
_level0.allFound = allFound+1;

into:
_level0.allFound = _level0.allFound+1

Using the ++ command didn't work

Thanks again for your help. Seeing new options always creates solutions.
