Basic quiz scoring

Question

Hey, I'm trying to build a basic quiz – there are 6 questions and I want it to display a score at the end. Everything works and it shows a value at the end (but always '0'). It's not keeping proper scoring as users go along, it should be adding '1' point for each score, no matter what option is clicked it just traces '0' in the output window. Maybe something to do with the variable or? Kinda new to Flash, the chunk of code I believe to be the issue is below, thanks.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//varialbe for keeping score
var score:Number = 0;
//event listeners for button clicks, which will adjust the scoring array
rad1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad4_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
//function for adjusting the scoring array
function adjustScoreQ1(e:MouseEvent):void
if (e.target == rad3_btn){
//add 1 point to the overall score if the user clicks on the third option
score += 1;
//check my scoring variable in output window
trace (score);

The code you show is not a problem in itself.   In that frame if you click the 3rd object you will get a 1 in the output.  The problem might have to do with how you implement the score variable in the timeline.  The score variable should be in a layer that extrends the length of the timeline to the end of the quiz.
