Accumulate score in AS3

The situation is this:



    1/ Class Grid.as 

    - Obtain the value of the option chosen // score:Number 

    - Generate a new instance: generateTrivia  // trivia:generateTrivia 

    - Send the score value using a method // trivia.sendScore(score) 


    2/ Class generateTriva 

     - Save the score value score   


      private function sendScore(rScore:Number){
         this.pt = rScore;
      }


    - I created a variable to update the score after the question is answered  
     //  private var finalScore:Number = 0;

    - When the user clicks on send button: 

    a. Validate the answer 
 
    b. update the finalScore

     //  finalScore = finalScore + this.pt;

    - Finally I update the textfield to show the score 


    Note:

    I've observed that the first time when the user answer the question correctly the
    accumulator: finalScore works fine but after that I don't know why does not add the new
    value of the variable (this.pt ) to the stored result


    UPDATED: I found something. After the answer is validated, the instance is removed and back to grilla, then repeat the process by question. I should store the result of the validation and send it back to the grid class and then process accumulate the  value

You should learn how to debug a program. An error can be something started from uninitialized variable to "1 " (see the space there) converted to NaN.

The simplest way is to add trace() statements in the functions where your score and pu values change. Better way is to set a breakpoint when user selects an option to answer and step through the execution monitoring variables.
