I am using only one Frame. when I did "Restart the application", I dont see running application exists completely and start itself but its acting like Restart Current Frame. Deb

Restart current frame - restarts the current frame (global values etc remain unchanged). Restart the application - restart from frame 1 (resets all global value etc to defaults). There is no action to close and restart the actual program. n/a

Counter 2 = An Active obejct's Alterable value. Counter 3 = just setting Counter 3 at runtime. 'Restart application' resets all values. 'Restart current frame' remembers global values but resets Active object's alterable values and the counter's value. 'Jump to Frame' is much the same as restart current frame, BUT this is actually dependent on whether those objects are global or not. So if you make a counter and an active object global, their values WILL be remembered when you jump frames. Edited by AndyUK .

Did you know that if you recolor an object with "Replace Color", then it will stay recolored if you restart the frame OR if you jump to the same frame? But it will turn back to normal if you jump to a different frame, and then back. Go Moon!
