FMP Problems

Having problems with the scoring system for the game
it seems it counts the score everytime a target it hit... however when a new target appears the score resets itself back to 0.
I have gone through the script several times and cant seem to figure out whats wrong with this problem

FMP production

Ive been working on my game production over the holidays.
Looking at tutorials i have been able to create a basic gameplay with 1 type of target, the target spawns and moves across the screen right to left.

There are problems with this however, the spawn points of the targets are random but are on the same level... however when a new target appears the score resets itself to 0 no matter how many points are already scored

The next parts i will be working on will be the targets (trying to sort out the problems) the scoring system... adding a new target to mix in to the game... a time limit on the game
and the script to decide whether the game gets completed or game gets failed

Tutorials and Pages looked at

I have done some tutorials that will help with my knowledge of actionscript and the way each line of script works. These tutorials are not for creating a game but instead for a flash website.. however they allow me to understand how each part works allowing me to create and adapt my game.
However i didnt do all the tutorials they allowed me to look at the actionscript used. They also allow me to start designing a simple page that i will upload my game to, to allow people to play it.

This is the website i looked at to create a simple preloader for my game, as i am only creating the basic structure i will improve on the game later on

This forum link allowed me to fix the problem with linking my scenes together successfully

This link allowed me to understand navigation for both websites and games and create a simple navigation for the main interface of my game, three simple buttons that are easy to see and easy to click to open
