How do I store level data, array perhaps

Hello,

Lets say I have a layout with 5 square sprites on it. Each square would be a different color on the start of each level and I would like to store these for example like this:

Level 1 - Orange, Yellow, Blue, Red, Green

Level 2 - Brown, Pink, Yellow, Red, Blue

Level 3 - Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Pink

I just want a single layout that I can use over and over again with the data above. So when the game starts it will load level 1 data and color the squares as indicated. When the player completes level 1 it will then grab the data for level 2 and color the squares accordingly...and so on.

How is best to store this information and get it when needed.

If anyone can also give me a basic example capx or something that would really help.

Thank you.

Don't think array is required here in any way.

If that's as simple as it sounds you can just create global variable for all levels.

Use an array where the index of "X" axis is your level (ZERO base, so, index + 1) and "Y" is used to store sprite colors.

Then, in each "On Start Layout" you set the animation to the value at Array[level][sprite], where the value "sprite" is an instance variable you set before to each Sprite.

Thanks I'll give those a try.

The game is basically a puzzle game where on each level the player is shown a number of colored squares and then after X seconds the squares go blank and the player must replicate the colors they were shown.

So I just need a way of storing each level/stage of colors and then check the players 'input' to see if they match in order to progress to the next level.
