Using a variable for frame label?

[JapanMan]

I'm making a game, and in between short levels, you go to a "reset" frame to prepare for the next level. I have a dynamic text box named "level" that increases by 1 every time you finish a stage. When you click the button on the "reset" frame, you go to the appropriate level's frame; the levels are labeled with just the number. So far, I have been managing this as follows:


//in the button's actions
on (release) {
if (level == 1) {
gotoAndStop("1");
}
if (level == 2) {
gotoAndStop("2")
}
}etc. etc.

I want to know if I could manage this with just one statement like

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(level);
}where "level" is the value of the dynamic text box.

Much thanks!

gotoAndStop(level.toString()); ?

unfortunately, that didn't work, it just re-loads the frame you're already on.

here's the .fla

I'm also having a problem with hitTesting the "blobs", the red circles. If someone could look at the script for the array and its collisions, I'd appreciate it too.

Thanks.

gotoAndStop(level.toString()); ?

He gave you a solution, and according to what you posted it should work. You can try casting it, String(level);

I'm assuming this isnt AS3, because all those solutions would work...

level is a flash player variable

try giving it another name!

then gotoAndStop(otherVar); will work for sure
