Big Help

lol the title was supposed to be bug help.

I've got a bug that I can't figure out.

My game starts on a movie clip, press key to continue to next frame which is title screen...click new game, jump to frame 3 (game start), this is a little text scene, press any key to continue...jump to frame which is Level 1... I have a frame 4 which is game over. The player is taken to that frame when their health is 0 or lower. On that frame they can click game over, and it will take them to frame 2 which is main menu..

when I start the game with F8 everything is fine...I see the intro movie, click key go to the next screen, click new game, go to the next screen, and what not...get into the game, and play...when I die, the game over screen comes up, I click it it takes me to the main menu...strangely, now that I've died when I click New Game, it no longer starts the frame sequence normally, it jumps to the game over screen...so now after dying the player is stuck in a loop pressing new game on the main menu, and being taken to game over screen where they are redirected to the main menu...lol

I've looked at the events. They look right. I mean, the first time the game is played they go through right...it's only after dying this loop comes up..

sounds like the health/lives counter has not been reset when the player leaves the game over screen, so as soon as it jumps to the gameplay screen, it reads the health/lives as 0 and jumps to the game over screen.

Oh, that would definitly explain it. Such a simple thing to expect that to happen automatically, thanks man :)
