MMF2 newbie counter value problems

[Stardust]

Hello, I'm new to this MMF2 business and I'm making a game for a college course. The game has two levels each in a seperate frame, there is a counter in both frames, but I need the counter in the second frame to start with the value from the counter in the first frame. I'm a bit lost over this is there any way of passing counter values between frames?

Thanks

In the properties window, under Runtime Options (red play button) there's an option to set it to Global.

Or you can do it manually with Global Values. At the end of frame 1 set Global Value A to equal your counter, then on start of frame 2, set the counter to equal Global Value A.

ok setting it manually sounds like the best option, but as I'm very new to this, how do you actually create a gloabal variable, without using the red button - under runtime options??

Thanks very much for your time

In the application properties, you go to Values, and click on New to create a new global value.

You don't even need to do that, just use Global Value A, B, C, etc.... Or get my Global Value Object :P.
