Increasing a variable on release

Hello,
in my first frame i have

var picnumbers = 1;

i have a button that i want to use to increase this variable by multiplying it by 4.

ive looked on the web and cant find it!

thanks a lot for your help

junior

on(release)
{
picnumbers = picnumbers * 4;
}

brilliant, i thought it was that.. i just put it under a line instead of on top of one.

another question if i may,

i am running an external class too,

my first frame.

Quote:

---

var picnumbers = 1;
butGo.onRelease = function()

{
simpleSearch.doSearch(tag.text);
}

---

this is my button atm and it increases pic numbers

Quote:

---

on (release) {
simpleSearch.doSearch(tag.text);

picnumbers = picnumbers * 4;
myTextbox.text = picnumbers;

}

---

this is the first line of my external class that i am using..

Quote:

---

public static var NUM_RESULTS:Number = 1;

---

how do i get that number 1 to become picnumbers?

A shorter way of doing it is:
picnumbers *= 4;

[Edit] What is the name of the class file? To get something from a class file you do this:

code:

---

var blah:ClassFileName = new ClassFileName();

something = blah.variable;

---

Something like that.

i want the classfile to be able to read from my main flash movie..

not the other wayaround..

i am declaring picnumbers in the main movie, and want to, somehow, make the external class get the variable..

Not sure.
