Thanks I have it now, I ended up doing it a little different, I added 1 to the variable when the hitTest was true, the problem was not in this as I found out when I added a dynamic text box to display the variable as I could see it working. The problem was a little odd. I wanted an event when the variable equalled 24. I used an if statement. The thing was that I wanted to go to another scene when the variable got to 24 but the goto scene command would not work no matter how I tried to do it. That was the problem. In the end I added a frame and used a goto nextframe instead and this worked. Now it goes to the next frame when the variable reaches 24 and there is no stop in the next frame so it just rolls into the next scene. I have no idea why "if variable >= 24 gotoplay (nextscene. 1)" does not work when "if variable >= 24 gotoplay nextframe" does work. Ignore my syntax here I am only outlining it for you. I used the Script Editor so the syntax was right and I check it many times anyway.
I do not know if you know why this should be, any way I have it all working now so I am not to bothered. I am glad that the increment was working.
