on your frame put

_root.score = 0

make a text box, and make it dynamic, in the variable call it “score”

whenever you want the score to go up simply put

_root.score += 5

simple. Just do the same for lives but take it away.

how do you make it so when you touch something eg a bar at the bottom of a pong/the paddle or the life ups/money in a platformer go down/up?

Look into collision detection. hitTest works usually, unless you’re moving too fast. Then, you’d have to use math.
