need help creating a class for scores in a game

[sealclubberr]

hey i've been trying to create a class for keeping track of a players score in a game, and giving them a ranking based on their score.
What i have so far is:

class score {

private var points: Number ;
private var rank: String ;

//constructor
function score(newpoints:Number, newrank:String){
points = newpoints ;
rank = newrank ;
}

//set methods
public function setpoints(p:Number) : Void {this.points = p ;}
public function setrank(rank:String) : Void {this.rank = rank ;}

//get methods
public function getpoints() : Number {return points;}
public function getrank() : String {return rank;}

Now what i was wondering is what i would need to add so it keeps track of their score and shows them their score when they lose.

Just create an instance of the class, and use your getter/setter methods like any other AS object. On your timeline, you would put the following:

code:

---

import score;

myScore:Score = new Score(0, "rookie" ); 

/* assuming you start with 0 points at a rank of rookie */

---

In your game, you would invoke the getter/setter methods.

code:

---

myScore.setpoints(20);

myScore.setrank("veteran");

---

At the end, let's say you have a screen with a textfield with an instance name of "displayScore_tf".

code:

---

displayScore_tf.text = myScore.getpoints();
