[F8] [help] if else and score stuff

[deathclaw01]

Im trying to set up a little game for a friend's website. The idea is simple enough, I've got a movie clip that swings and for every swing completed by the player it adds to the score.

That works fine, what im having difficulty with is that I want a series of buttons to appear as the player acheives a higher swingScore. This is what I have at the moment on the first (and only) frame:


_root.swingScore = 0;

if (_root.swingScore>=40) {
button4._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=25) {
button3._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=15) {
button2._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=5) {
button1._visible = true;
} else {
button4._visible = false;
button3._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;
button1._visible = false;
}

Now the buttons disapear fine, but getting them to reappear is a bugger. The score reads the necessary amount but the buttons won't appear. Ive tried a few different things like putting the buttons on different frames and using "goto" but that doesnt work either.

Any ideas guys?

_root.swingScore = 0;

if (_root.swingScore>=40) {
button4._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=25) {
button3._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=15) {
button2._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=5) {
button1._visible = true;
} else {
button4._visible = false;
button3._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;
button1._visible = false;
} 

if this is in a movieclip

on(load){
_root.swingScore = 0;
button4._visible = false;
button3._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;
button1._visible = false;

}

on(EnterFrame){

if (_root.swingScore>=40) {
button4._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=25) {
button3._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=15) {
button2._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=5) {
button1._visible = true;
} 
} 

if this is in a the main frame

_root.swingScore = 0;
button4._visible = false;
button3._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;
button1._visible = false;



onEnterFrame = function(){

if (_root.swingScore>=40) {
button4._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=25) {
button3._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=15) {
button2._visible = true;
} else if (_root.swingScore>=5) {
button1._visible = true;
} 
}
