save and load same layout on restart?

Hi there, with my current project, I am making a pause screen that has "restart level" as one of your options. My problem is that I have money and xp to take into account when I reload the layout... I just said MouseAndKeyboard-on object:"restart level" clicked >load "layout..." So basically, what I am asking is, if u get half way through the level and you get stuck somewhere but u have also accumulated xp and money, how do u restart the level with ONLY the money and xp u acquired in the previous levels?

Any help would be realy appreciated <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Use global variables to store and compare values from previous level and current level.

Thanks for the advice, but may I ask further and be a bother and ask u to give me an example??? Thanx in advance

globalvar_restartlayout.capx ?
