FLASH: Help with increment

[Andrew Le Sage]

Hi all


I have a problem, I have a 24 piece jigsaw which all works fine with the

bits snapping into place as the result of a hitTest. There is no problem

with that. However I want to have an action caused by the last bit being put

into place. The bits can go in any order so the only way I can see to do

this is to have a variable that increments everytime a bit is put into the

correct position. Once in the correct position they cannot be moved again so

as soon as the variable reaches 24 I could have the movie  goto the next

scene or whatever. The problem is that I cannot seem to set this up. Where

should the variable be declared, in the main timeline in the 1st frame? then

in the code for every dragable MC (puzzle bit) have it increment the

variable by 1 on a true hitTest. If this is right so far then it is the

syntax that I am having trouble with. Or is my idea the totally incorrect

way to do this.


Thanks for sparing the time to read this and thanks if you decide to help
