I have a ranking system set up, and its functional. the movie clips “a”-“d” displays the rank. while the dyanamic text box “one” is changing for future reference. heres my code:

```auto
if(myStopWatch.getTime() < 70) {
     A.gotoAndPlay(2);
     one.text="A";
} else if(myStopWatch.getTime() < 1000) {
    B.gotoAndPlay(2);
    one.text="B";
} else if(myStopWatch.getTime() < 3000) {
    C.gotoAndPlay(2);
    one.text="C";
} else if(myStopWatch.getTime() > 5000) {
    D.gotoAndPlay(2);
    one.text = "D";
}

```

however, I realized that if you got a rank of B, and you replayed the level, and your rank went down, you’d want your better rank to stay in place.

so how can i keep the highest rank in the dynamic text box “one”, so it doesnt change if you later get a lower rank?
