quiz help for newb - thanks

[fjp476]

Hi,
I'm trying to make a simple 6 question quiz. I've made a global variable named gScore with this code:
global gScore

on startMovie me
gScore = 0
end

I have this code on each of the 6 correct buttons:
on mouseUp
gScore = gScore + 1
end

I tried adding this code to the final correct button:

on mouseUp
if gScore > 4
go to "pass"
else
go to "fail"
end

but I get an error mesage that says " Script error:Variable used before assigned a value
ifgScore >?4

Obviously I'm doing something wrong or missing a step (or 2 or 3). Would anyone please take pity on a newb and point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.


Cheers~Frank

Are you including the line "global gScore" at the beginning of all of your scripts that refer to it? It looks like that might be missing and therefore the script doesn't know that gScore has a value.

Hope it's this simple!
