Okay, I've made a basic pong game. And I' m trying to add a score limit but I can't get it to work. My dynamic score counters are "leftscore" and "rightscore" and this is the code I have:

CODE

if("leftscore" == "5") {
gotoAndStop(4);
}
if("rightscore" == "5") {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

If I put in > it just skips right to the losing page. I've also tried "===" and ">=". Anyone have any idea?

Shouldn't it be

CODE

if (leftscore == 5) {
gotoAndStop(4);
}
if (rightscore == 5) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

Please ignore this code if I'm mistaken.

Tried that, it didn't do anything.

We are probably going to need to see some more of your code. Try doing a trace to see what leftscore and right score are equal to. Use the typeOf(); method to see what datatype the variable is. Check the scope of your variables too. You may need to add the path to the movieclip those vars are stored in.
