Getting Closer To a Game

Today I developed a money system for the game. It costs money to move the various units to where the player wants them, and they can gain money by defeating opponents. I also learned that when I try to put font in a text box, the system of scoring won't work. The font causes the scores to disappear.

Testing Some Coding...

I spent most of this class and last class working on action script. I did pretty well last class. I was able to get the coding to work so that whenever an object's health dropped to zero the clip would disappear. Then I managed to get the health text to follow the object when it is dragged around the scene. Today, I've been working on a money system so that when a "tower" is placed on the field, the price of the "tower" is subtracted from the total amount of money. But it seems that I've run into a problem, the text won't load. I even deleted the cash system and made everything like it was in the previous action script, the one where the text follows the object, and it still wouldn't work.

My Topic

This class I finished working on the game facts in Flash. The topic is now officially invasive species. Why I was so persistent on doing this, I really can't remember. I guess its because I feel some interest in it for some odd reason. I also managed to find some really helpful websites when I was researching.
