Saving and loading problems

[Radical]

Hey, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm building this zombie invasion game, where you as a player can run around and shot them and try not to let them get to the safe house at the end of the map.

I'm trying to build a menu so when your cruser is overlapping the meny object it jumps to frame 3.

so far so good....

there is a return button in frame 3 that i want to let the player come back to the exactly the same map, same x amout of zombies at the exact same position as before you overlapped the menu button.
I'm trying to do this by storeing all the positions of the zombies in a array and loading the array when you jump back from meny to frame 2, and recreating the zombies and seting their positions to the ones in the array.

This how ever is not working.... i'm probly having tunnel vision because i can not see whats wrong... I'm uploading a file here so you guys can see..

Any help is much ablidged.

Saving and loading positioning data ( and other relevant data like, direction, animation sequence, animation frame, health, etc ) from an Array should work.

But, I think your way better of implementing a Game Loop.
Basically what this means is that if the Game Loop stopps running, the game stopps running ( its like a Pause button ).

So when your cursor is overlapping the Menu Button, you stop the Game Loop ( everything freezes ) and you bring up the Menu ( for example by making a specific Layer vissible )
When you hit the Return Button from the Menu, you simply resume the Game by starting the Game Loop again and hide the Menu ( by making the Menu Layer invissible )
