Forums → Programming Forum → Variable Help Needed

This is in AS2!

Well, yet again, I need help in Flash (big surprise). I'm making an RPG game and for the customization system, I figured it would be best to associate each choice with a variable then use that variable to define how the character looks in the next scene. As an example, I'll use hair color.

Scene 1, Frame 1:

_global.haircolor = 0;

Scene 1, Frame 1, Customizatiomenu_mc, Frame 4:

stop();

bluehairbutton.onRelease = bluehairfunction;
redhairbutton.onRelease = redhairfunction;

function bluehairfunction() {
haircolor = 1;
}

function redhairfunction() {
haircolor = 2;
}

Scene 2, Frame 1:

if (haircolor == 1){
character.head.gotoAndStop(1);
}

if (haircolor == 2){
character.head.gotoAndStop(2);
}

Any ideas anyone?
Also, if there's a better way of doing this character customization thing, please let me know!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
