I have selection buttons and separate fade-in, fade-out movie clips. When the timeline loops for the next fade-in fade-out cycle AS3 variables are being reinitialized, resetting all variables. If I've selected a button to show a separate image and the timeline loops, the button and all variable states return to the initial value. Is there something I need to do to avoid or get around the reintialization/restart of the script each time the timeline completes?
