drag and drop, change a variable, please help

[antonyx]

ok, i have a burger, and a fatman, and a separate mouth. on frame two of the fatman movie he gets fatter, i can drag the burger into the fatmans 'mouth'from the main scene and the burger disappears and the man gets fatter.(goes to frame 2 of fatman)
i also have a score variable declared in frame one actions.. score = 250

ActionScript for my button:

on (press) {
startDrag(this, true);
}
on (release) {
score -= 10;
tellTarget ("_root.burger") {
_visible = false;
}
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/mouth") {
_root.fatman.gotoAndStop(2);
}

}


i want score to go down by 10 when the burger is dropped but the score does not change. why not?

I might be mistaken, my you might need to do this:

on (press) {
        startDrag(this, true);
}
on (release) {
        score -= 10;
        tellTarget ("_root.burger") {
                _visible = false;
        }
        stopDrag();
        if (eval(this._droptarget) == _root.mouth) {
                _root.fatman.gotoAndStop(2);
        }
        
}

I think your droptarget format might have been wrong. Tell me if this works!
