Simple Myst-Like Application

[Graeme Harlick]

Gordon,

So what I do is:

In the Stack script I put:

global gUserpoints

on openStack
   put 0 into gUserpoints
end openStack

Then on the top of every Card script:

global gUserpoints

And if it is a point awarding card:

global gUserpoints
add 10 to gUserpoints

And if its a point awarding button

on mouseDown
add 10 to gUserpoints
end mouseDown

Then I have a field at the bottom of the screen where the score adds up, so 
I set the contents of that field to gUserpoints? Would you know how to do 
this?  Also in the last example, how could I make it work only ONE time, so 
that the user won't click on it again and get 20,30,40 pts....and so on.

Thanks

Graeme
