fla

Also.. Whenever I pick up an object it unloads the movie clip (that was the object)
When I go back to the original scene that object comes back.

To counter this I decided to have all my scenes on one frame, and move the whole scene by about 500px when I click an arrow to go somewhere else. I realized that this could hurt performance?

Do you think when I pick an object, I can push values into an array. Depending on what values the array contains, it removes the object from the scene, and each time I go back to a frame it checks all the values and removes objects accordingly.

additional frames are kinda not good but you can try this

on the first frame add

var box:Boolean = true;

on the 2nd frame (or whichever) check if it is true

if (box)
{
    trace("box true");
    //true function here
}
else
{
    trace("box false");
    box.visible = false;
    //function here
}

don't forget to add the trigger that makes it false so the box is hidden the second time around and the var is on the first frame so it only gets changed through actionscript

also this is 3.0 sorry but it might help a little

no worries, i understand what your saying

yea i thought about that idea, but then you need to add a variable for each item. might get a bit cluttered right?

I suppose so, if you wanted one visible and the another invisible you would need a separate variable for it to work, you can also check to see if it is false so if you wanted one visible while the other is invisible and vise versa

Why is more than one frame a bad thing.

I have found in my own writing that it is more organized, which is important if you leave the project for a while and come back to it and realize that it need to be recoded all over again due to the code being jumbled all over the place. Or if you are showing to someone else they can easily find everything

but don't get me wrong I do it too...

Ok I thought of how I will do it.

I will insert bolleans into an array, when you an item[s] it makes a bollean[s] true.

When bollean[s] is true, unload item[s]

weirdilike, since you helped me, let me help you if you dont know already.

when making your game place it in a movie clip, then you can use the main timeline to program everything in the movie clip, and have 100 frames in the movie clip

yes,and thank you
