How do you reset all variables? I want to reset everything in my flash game as if it just loaded.
I have classes with vars.
I have movieclips with onLoad() vars.
I have multiple layers with vars.
With out getting into a ton of background I am wondering if there is a command that will reset all the variables in a swf at once with out having to do them individually?
I've googled and searched my books and can't find anything. Another option I could see is having the current flash reload, that would set everything back to the start but I couldn't find how to do that either.
Anyone know?
I have 3 input fields, min:sec:frame (mval,sval,fval)

I am very new to Flash AS3 and Flash Professional CS5. What I am try to do is show frames 4 to 10 (it just say CORRECT in bold) when a user selects the correct answer.On Frame 10 I have the code say "gotoAndPlay(2);", the problem is on Frame 2 I have action-script on that page and all my variables are re-declared and they all get reset as Frame 2 is loaded.How should I prevent the variables from being reset each time frame 2 is reloaded?
View 5 RepliesIn my flash program I have everything on one frame. In the actionscript on that frame, I made a variable called currentButton and set it to the first button, to keep track of which button is currently pressed. In the click function this variable is changed to whatever button was clicked.Now, I didn't think this would work, because seeing that the one frame is being played over and over, (there's no stop() command in there) I thought currentButton would keep being reset every frame. To my surprise, it worked just fine. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd like to know why it's doing that. Shouldn't all the code on the frame be done every time the frame is played, including the part that sets currentButton to button1?

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to work out a way to reset movieclips and swf's. I have like a website, and when a button is pressed, a new page loads. This page might be an internal movieclip, or it might be an external swf. I create my movieclips like
[code]...
Everything loads and unloads perfectly. The problem I am having is say I load a movieclip which is several layers deep. For instance spaces_mc loads a page where there is initially 3 buttons. If I choose one of these buttons, I go into the image gallery associated with this button. Say I then navigate to another page, and then back to spaces_mc, I will be displayed with the image gallery I was at before, instead of being at the beginning point as if I was loading it for the first time (the page with the 3 buttons). So I need some way of resetting things. Where I use a loader, I think I could probably use unloadAndStop(true). I am not sure how I can do this for the movieclips though, where no loader is used.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a game in Flash using Action Script 3,
I have everything in the game and the game works, but I am trying to add a restart function so the game will go back to the start of the level when you pres the 'R' key.
My game starts off with a title screen on Frame 1, and there are 2 levels, 1 is in frame 2 and the other is in frame 3.
When you click the level you want on the title screen it takes you to the frame which has the required level in it by using a gotoAndStop[code]...

I've got a custom player ready to play external swf.Its got all the functionality as any other player, play pause, next back, etc etc.If a certain swf contains a animation for a couple of frames and then a certain game.By some means, some movieClips of the game are added to the stage of the swf.The player has also got a seek bar.Now if a seek a few steps back, the movieClips that were added by the game remain on the stage, while the animation plays in the background.

ok - i'm totally confused here... this is probably a stupid noob question... just recently got flash 8 - upgrading from mx2004, but had previously been using flash 6 components and AS1, due to files that had already been written in mx... my problem is this - i have a dynamic text field, populated with data from a LoadVars object. When a button is pressed, different data is loaded into the text field, and the scrollBar is supposed to reset to the top (position=0)

1. How do I reset a value in an onChanged function?
2. How do I set a sliders minimum value to 100?
I have an empty movie clip that tells another movie clip on the stage to move based on a variable that's based on the getTimer results something like:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
targetx = 0;
_root.slide.gotoAndPlay("move");
[Code].....
Now, what I want to do is to reset the value of getTimer so my movie will loop,
I have been working with some code back and forth but am pretty much stuck now! I have four movie clips of different colored cars - two on the left side off the stage, and two on the right side off the stage. The clips move across the stage to the right and the left respectively. I have all the elements that I needed to get working, but now I am stuck because the animation only plays one time. I need it to play over and over again, never stopping. I tried to "reset" the _x boundary for each movie clip since they are in different starting locations, but have not been successful. Below is my code and I also attached a screen shot of how the clips are positioned so you can see how they will cross the screen.
Code:
var loop:Number = 0;
var messageTxt:TextField;
var mc_name:String;
function time():Void {
