Hello!

If you want the project to save your progress, there is a relatively simple way to do this. (this will only work offline unfortunately.)

I'm on my iPod at the moment so I can't see your project, but I'll give you a pretty general explanation:

Let's say for example that you want the game to save what level you're on. Create a level variable (I'm assuming you already have something like this). Normally, when the player clicks the green flag, all the variables will be reset.

when flag clicked
Set [level v] to [1]

If you wanted the level you are at to save, simply don't add this script. When the player plays the game and advances to new levels, the variable will change. As long as the player saves the project, if the level variable is never reset, the level will be the same the next time the user opens the project.

This same process can be applied to all variables and lists, so be creative! You could save the life that each player has, or even save things like the players preferences and items etc. that they collected in the game.

Hope that was helpful! Good luck in your game!

or he could just use the

 ([x position v] of [player v]) 

block.

That is what I did. It makes it so the game responds more quickly. The real problem was how fast Adobe Flash can refresh.
