RE: FLASH: reload variables

[Benoit Martin]

did you try creating a separate movie for the high score that you would load

everytime you access the first frame using LoadMovie("scoreMovie.swf",

"score_placeholder_MC") or something like this ???

Subject: FLASH: reload variables



HI everyone....


I just made my first little flash game and was very excited.........but then

I discovered by High Score Feature doesn't work.


In the first frame it does a load variables command

loadVariablesNum ("highscore.cfm", 0);


>From a text file and imports the highest score, name, and email.

If you play the game and get a high score you enter your details and it uses

geturl to post these to a database.


You then click "play again", it goes back to frame 1 and SHOULD load the NEW

variables with the new high score from the database.


THe problem is that it doesn't insert the new variable data into flash so it

still displays the old high score.


Is there anyway to flush out old variables and to force flash to load new

variables in with the Load variables command?


thanks for you help...


chad
