i have created my very first game and have been able to include a timer collision (timer ends -game ends (hp = 0 -game ends)

]but i am having trouble with my scoring system.
i have the score text box set to - dynamic and have given it a var name of score. but nothing happens (because there is no action to tell the score text to rise by 10 each time.
i have found tutorials and other info in search engines but these only tell you how to increase the score with a button.
i would like the it to increase whenever i pass over a (score block)
also i would like to add (hp blocks) so that hp can be increased.

any assit would be greatfully recieved
thanx in advance.
please help

Read this thread two ways of keeping score here

[mikerflash]

If you are using HitTest you should add the function in here:

example:

function scoreIncrease(){
// set the new score of score text box
score += 10;
}

make sure you initialize it to 0 when the movie first loads or you will get a NAN in text box. NAN means not a number. Happens when you try to add a number to nothing or a string.

Hope this help!
