I learned how to use simple boolean values and define many of them in one movie as separate variables from jon\_bla and glosrfc. Thank you to those two again.

I am missing one portion of the puzzle now in order to know how to make this style of dynamic movie menu work.

1. I have 3 buttons on frame 1, each one pertaining to a Boolean value.

2. The code on each button is:

> 

//button 1  
on(press){  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
var skip1:Boolean = new Boolean();  
skip1=true;  
}

//button2  
on(press){  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
var skip2:Boolean = new Boolean();  
skip2=true;  
}

//button3  
on(press){  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
var skip3:Boolean = new Boolean();  
skip3=true;  
}

1. There is a tween from frame 2 through frame 8

2. On frame 8 there is the following code:

> 

stop();  
if(skip1 == true){  
gotoAndPlay(15);  
}

if(skip2 == true){  
gotoAndPlay(22);  
}

if(skip3 == true){  
gotoAndPlay(29);  
}

1. I have another set of code I don’t need to describe later in the movie that brings the movie back to frame 1.

The problem is, once button 2 and therefore skip2 has been activated, if I attempt to click on button 1 after that, the movie still activates the Boolean value skip2. The same thing happens if I activate skip3, except now the movie activates skip3 no matter which button is pressed.

My question is, how do I reset the movie’s recognition of the satisfied conditions for the Boolean values? How can I make it think no Boolean variables have been activated once it is set back to frame 1 without having to reload the movie entirely?
