cheers irv,
the location that you dont understand is : Each door will set the position
of the charecter in the next room. I cannot make it work
I have tried:
on the door :
global gListOfInformation
on enterFrame me
if sprite 41 intersects sprite(me.spriteNum) then
gListOfInformation = [point(41:200,42:300)]
go to "room02"
end
end
on the frame(room)
global gListOfInformation
on prepareFrame me -- use prepare frame to only do this once
sprite(41).loc = gListOfInformation[41,42]
gListOfInformation = [:] -- clear info
end
cheers jon
