I need help urgently. I need to finish this game by Jan 10.

Basically I have the platformer tutorial and I changed a lot of stuff, the actionscript, everything and I’m turning it to a UCLA portfolio.

Basically I want to make a pause button and a next level. The way I’m doing it is by creating a new frame with the new level. **Problem is that the variables don’t carry over the frames!** Everytime I try to pause, all the score, life, and health get reset! WHHHYYYYY!?
