PLEASE HELP with saving character position!
Hello all, first time poster.
I have been trying to save the position of the active character when I leave his frame and jump to another. When I jump back to his frame I need him to be where he was when the frame closed.
I have tried every tutorial and suggestion on the web from saving frames (which I can save on frame close) but when I want to load the frame a browse box appears for me to select the files location, not just reload the frame automatically. I have also tried the Associated Array but can't seem to figure it out.
There is a good tutorial on youtube but the guy goes so fast I can't follow him and I think what he is trying to do is what I need but his tutorial doesn't explain how to save position and then reload it when you return to the frame.
ANY help would be appreciated!
I am running MMF2 build R249.
Here are the 2 resources I have been trying to understand:
MMF2 tutorial saving and loading
and
Nivrams MMF2 tutorials

Never mind. One of the tutorials on the 'Tutorials' page of Clickteam's site had the answer in the tutorial - 'Saving and Loading data'. it just took me awhile to find it. Also it was somewhat confusing when I was trying to store and retrieve the XY coordinates of the character into the XY coordinates of the array! man that was screwing with the brain....
