Reloading levels

Hey guys,

I've just got a question when it comes to reloading levels. I am currently using a retry button that just reloads the level from the file.

like this :
function menuButtonClass::onMouseUp(%this, %modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
	if(%this.buttonNumber == 0)
	{
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(999, endLevel);
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(1000, loadLevel, expandFileName("~/data/levels/puzzle_buster_main_menu.t2d"));
	}
	else if(%this.buttonNumber == 4)
	{
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(999, endLevel);
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(1000, loadLevel, expandFileName("~/data/levels/puzzle_buster_level1.t2d"));
	}

but i am planning on having 25+levels and i dont want to have 25+ sceperate buttons just for retry.

is there a getLevel function i can use so that i can reload the current level?
i have looked in the documentation and couldnt find anything.

thanks
Brendan

I asked some one how to do this and its worked out for me :)

the solution was to have a dynamic field on player called level and then put that into the code where the @ signs are

else if(%this.buttonNumber == 4)
	{
		$touches = 0;
		blackFadeOut.fadeIn();
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(999, endLevel);
		sceneWindow2D.schedule(1000, loadLevel, expandFileName("~/data/levels/puzzle_buster_level" @ player.level @ ".t2d"));
	}

thanks anyways to anyone who looks at this post in the future :)
