I was wondering. Is there a way to hard-reset a flash movie by using actionscript? I’m coding an application for flash communication server and I would like to be able to run a function that pretty much says, “ooops, time to start all over again.” I just don’t want to keep track of every single little variable that I’m using and having to reset them with an init() function.
