Re: FLASH: Help with increment

[Gregg Caines]

It sounds like you've answered your own question! I'd put it in the first

frame of the main timeline (varname = 0;) so it can be accessed from

anywhere as _root.varname .  Just put ++_root.varname anywhere you

want to increment it (like in your hittest handler) and you'll count the

pieces correctly.
