Selecting an Object

Sorry for the simple question but I am having a bit of a problem selecting a specific object.

I have created a series of (Sprite)buttons that will be red or green after an event. I can them to set the frame in order if I use sprite.UID and increase the value of UID incrementally each time. My problem is I have a function to RETRY that starts everything again and adds 20 to the SPRITE.UID when starting again.

It works fine until I restart. I could add 20 every time I restart but I'd need to save the number of RETRY's.

I am sure there is a better way to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

But aren't those buttons the same object ?

If so, just create a function "Spawn button" and give it a parameter : the frame number.

Example

I have created 20 Dots across the bottom of the form. I want to change the animation frame based on a correct answer to 1 or 2.

I have been able to do this fine until I hit a button to retry and the UID increases by 20.

Solved the problem by accessing the x position of the sprite, but there must be a way to call one sprite from a series other than by UID.

something like ?
