Alright, outta nowhere this just hit me and I’m dying to know.

I’m trying to make a game where you can customize your character. Therefore, the head is changeable, the shoes, etc. But all I need is the head and I can take it from there.

How can I create a code that will show a different head everytime you press a button. And everytime you press the button, a variable will hold the current head name.

(The heads are drawn out as movieclips and in the library. Their ID’s are Head1, Head2, etc.)
