--global level keep tracks --easy: level=1 --medium: level=2 --hard: level=3 --if level is 1 then game is taken from "games1" folder --if level is 2 then game is taken from "games2" folder etc. --games should have equal names in different folders. --Folders should have indexes 1, 2 and 3 in their names. --anyFolderName1 --anyFolderName2 --anyFolderName3 --here is a listing of root folder --mainMovie.dir -- -- -- --So principle is simple: --make one game (for example memory1.dir) with level=1 difficulty and put in games1 folder --make same but little harder game with same name and put in games2 folder --make same but hardest game with same name and put in games3 folder --call the game from mainMovie.dir --depends on global "level" behavior will play movie from those three folders --(if "level=1" from "games1" folder etc.) --****************************** --ATTENTION --when you create buttons in mainMovie you should always select movie only from --first folder --****************************** --ACTION --Apply this behavior to button and select game from first folder. --make all buttons with all games from first folder --during runtime when user select level of difficulty, behavior will play movie --according to value of "level" property mydistantMovie --global LEVEL previously selected by user.
