[dreamfx]

hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me
what i am doing wrong?.
I can draw nice pictures but this action scripting
is harder than it looks :-(
if someone could be so nice as too have a look at what
i have made and maybe give me a hint as to what i am
doing wrong?
the fla is avaible if you would like to take a look.
any help would be highly appreciated?.

dreamfx,

The first thing I noticed wrong is, button one(1) and five(5)
start out setting variable "THREE" to 3 then check to see
if it is greater than 3. In this case it could never be greater
because it will = 3

The second thing is button five(5) has the if statement
checking if "THREE" > 4

The third thing is button two(2), three(3), four(4), and five(5)
don't have a statement adding or subtracting from
variable "THREE" and button one(1) isn't adding or subtracting,
it is just setting to either +1 or -1 Code should look like following

Set Variable: "THREE" = THREE + 1
Set Variable: "THREE" = THREE - 1

The forth thing is frame1, actions layer has the variable "THREE"
set to 3 at the start of th movie. It should set it to 0 if anything.

The fifth thing is the buttons are checking if greater that 3 before setting
the variable. Which means it will be at 4 before the error msg shows up.
Change sequence to set then check. Also you will need to add some
script to turn the error msg off when the user deselects a button.

That's about all I could find!!!
Hope it helps.
