Variables problem (?)

Hi,

I have a problem and I think the variables are responsible for that…

I am developing an educational application in Flash. It is a fairytale for kids and on every “page” (with animations, sounds…) there are two puzzle pieces that the kid must put in their places. I did that with variables that verify if the piece is on the right place. If it is, the background is completed with the correspondent part. Well, everything is working perfect until I arrive to frame 9000, and I have 24 global variables… At that point, the puzzle pieces that have the same code attached don’t work well. The code is identical as at the pieces that work. If I copy the frames for that “page” with problems, and put them in a new file, those pieces are working perfect. So I don’t understand. If on a new file the pieces are working, the code is ok. Why in the story file they don’t work? Can you give a suggestion, please?

Thank you,

Nessa
