Beginners Questions regarding initialisation

Hi All!

My first post - and probably is a very basic question - but how do you make something run only ONCE, and then never again. I am attempting to create a flash site which changes pages by loading different scenes - but everytime I go back to the home page (ie., scene 1, keyframe 1), I don’t want all the “initialiser” stuff like loading xml files, and setting global variables etc., to take place again.

Probably something very elementary like “onFirstLoad” or something… :slight_smile:

Hope I’ve made my first post somewhat understood and semi-coherent. :slight_smile:

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Media Penguin.
