So I have 2 frames at main timeline, one named “Game” and one is “Menu”, they are just a movieclip eash does its own thing.

I am in the “Game” playing, I want to change settings so I go to frame “Menu”… when I am back to frame “Game”, **everything is reseted!!**

I soon realized this is what Flash has been doing and it’s a good thing…

But I really want to know how to by pass the resetting now…  
Does anyone has a clue? Would there be a property to set under Movieclip?
