Goto and return to frame

[Perry]

If I want to jump from 1 frame to another frame I can do that, but how can I go back to the frame where I came from ?
I see only prev/next/jump to frame

2nd is it possible when you are on ie. frame 3, and I have on Frame 20 an Animation, can I make that transparent showing on top of Frame 3 ?

or do I need to make frame 20 on every other frame as an extra layer?

Thanks

Hi Perry. I really don't understand your question. Can you redo it from scratch please?

Thanks,

LOL sure
If I have in my program lets say 25 frames (forms)
and form 1-20 are levels and form 21 is a "Congratulations" form.
When I show form 4 and I complete my level, can I show form 21 as an overlay on top of form 4, or do I need to create an extra layer on all my 20 forms with the "Congratulations" message. (was trying to avoid making 20x the same screen, if I can do it with just 1 screen).

The 2nd question was.

If I am on form 4 and I want to show form 25 I can do that with Jump to form 25
Is there a way that when I hit OK on form 25 to jump back to form 4, since I don't see an option like (Gosub -- Return type function)
Guess I can pass a Global var with the frame number and use that, but thought that there maybe was an easier way.

You could either add the content to each frame (ie hidden or a hidden layer) or you could have a completly seperate frame with the level complete info and record the last level you were on as a global variable. then after the level complete screen you could check the global variable and return the player to the next level..

Actually i have made you a quick example of doing this with global variables. I also included a global score method too.

if this is what you meant anyway (im sure it would come in handy anyway)

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I was thinking about this, but thought that there was maybe something else.
so, this will do for now Thanks
