Carry over HP value to next frame

[RustySpoons95]

So basically, my code detects a button press, takes one away from 400 (max hp var), and decreases hp bar size. Since actions for it say HP = 400 on load frame, it resets. How can I modify script in second frame so it carries over HP value to next frame?

Use _global variables.

e.g.

_global.hp=100;

i usually just do

if(HP == undefined){
var hp:Number = 400
}

Wouldnt that have the same effect as resseting ?
_global variables or work in one frame

oops, forgot the caps on the second variable. Once its defined as a variable, it will never again be undefined

i suggest keeping one layer for the constant code
or in AS3 just set it as a constant variable
const myVar:int = 12345

Oh wow. That totally works.
If you NEVER want to change a HP value throughout the game.
