I Have one theory, if i make an integer variable = the result, will it round down always? or up sometimes?

if i write in a sort of psuedo code, this is what i want

CODE

variable score

if( score / 5 )= integer
make X happen
end if.


is this possible in as many lines of code, or will i need some advanced flash?

as i write this, i remember hearing about Math.Floor, but i'm unsure if that is what i'm looking for.

you need the modulus operator(%) for this. Modulus divides one number by another and returns the result:
CODE

trace(26 % 5); //gives 1
trace(25 % 5); //gives 0
