function check_position() {
	shared = SharedObject.getLocal("savegame");
	if (shared.data.current == undefined) {
		shared.data.current = 1;
	}
	shared.close();
	return shared.data.current;
}

You can place the function anywhere, but if you want all movieclips to see it, you should place it on the main timeline.

main timeline fraime 1

var shared;
function check_position() {
	shared = SharedObject.getLocal("savegame");
	if (shared.data.current == undefined) {
		shared.data.current = 1;
	}
	shared.close();
	return shared.data.current;
}
function set_position(framenum) {
	shared = SharedObject.getLocal("savegame");
	shared.data.current = framenum;
	shared.close();
}
var lastframe = check_position();
trace(lastframe);
gotoAndPlay(lastframe);

main timeline frames 50, 100, 150, 200

set_position(_currentframe);

[simunlastre]

that script work perfect, but my movieclip have 2000 frames and i have to put set_position(_currentframe); on each one,

is there another way to do the same thing?

var shared;
function check_position() {
	shared = SharedObject.getLocal("savegame");
	if (shared.data.current == undefined) {
		shared.data.current = 1;
	}
	shared.close();
	return shared.data.current;
}
function set_position(framenum) {
	shared = SharedObject.getLocal("savegame");
	shared.data.current = framenum;
	shared.close();
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	set_position(_currentframe);
};
var lastframe = check_position();
trace(lastframe);
gotoAndPlay(lastframe);
