Restart game

programming flash
1

Hello,

I’m making a memory game in Flash CS and got the following problem:
The game is working perfect but I want to restart the whole game after you finished.

When all cards matches I remove the childs(cards) from the stage with this code.

if(_currentMatches >= _totalMatches)
                {
                    gotoAndStop(2);
                    timer.stop();
                    for (var i:int = 0; i < _cards.length; i++){
                    removeChild(_cards*);
                    }

What I want to do is reset the cards and timer when I click a button.
I got the following code on my timeline:

btn_restart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick_2);

function onMouseClick_2(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    for (var i:int = 0; i < _cards.length; i++){
    addChild(_cards*);
    }
}

This is putting back the childs(cards) agian… but they are not reset.
The timer, shuffle, ect has to be reset. How can I realise that?

Somebody that can help me out? I’m getting a little bit desparate now.

Thank you
