How can I jump from scene to scene without settings being cleared

Question

I'm making a Jeopardy game. When someone clicks on the button with the dollar amount on it, I have it reset to a different scene on the button so the players know it has been used. When another button is clicked, the first button resets back to its original dollar amount, rather than the blank scene it was reset to.
I'm not sure I'm wording the question very well, but I would appreciate any help you might have for me.
Thanks!

Answer 1

I did that here like this.
In each button i have this code on my main screen i have this
on(release) {
     indexscore = 100; (is the point value)
     cellnumber = 1; (i made the instance of each button "Cell" and then a number incrimenting....Cell1, Cell2.....
     gotoAndStop("Questions", 1);
Once it goes to the Questions scene that is where i click a button that will add the index number to my total points depending on if they clicked the button for team 1 or team 2... then that goes to my Answer scene which shows the right answers.....
This is the button that goes to the main screen from the answer scene
on(release) {
     gotoAndStop("Main Screen", 1);
     blankcell = "Cell"+cellnumber;
     setProperty(this.blankcell, _alpha, false);
i have blankcell declared at the beginning of the game as a global var
this code works so far but atm as soon as i try to have more than one button disapear it doesnt work, the problem i see is that im telling it to go back to that scene at frame 1, and that has all the buttons appear.....in other words it will make one disapear because its the button right before it but the frame with all the cells will override as soon as i try to get another button to dissapear.
