Hello guys,  
I’m trying to send information from the main scene (freezing) to one of menus (when the person levels up to choose skill) and I’m using .emit and .on, but the information appears later (I run it 1x and nothing happens and on the second time the information is updated). I’ve already sent the .emit before and after using cena.launch. can you help me? I created a variable to not pass anything empty.  
code main:

```javascript
 this.scene.launch('menuskill')
            this.events.emit('descSkill1', this.listaDeSkills.razendepelo);
            this.events.emit('descSkill2', this.listaDeSkills.morcego);
            this.scene.pause()
            this.mainScene = this.scene.get('menuskill');
            this.mainScene.events.on('recebeMenu', (a) => {
                this.levelText.setText(a)
            });

```

Menu scene:

```javascript
create(){
        //this.img1 = this.add.image(400 - 100,300,'menuFundo').setInteractive()
        //this.img2 = this.add.image(400 + 100,300,'menuFundo').setInteractive()
        this.skill1 = ''
        this.skill2 = ''
        this.mainScene = this.scene.get('cena001');
        this.mainScene.events.on('descSkill1', (a) => {
            this.skill1 = a
            console.log(this.skill1)
        });
        this.mainScene.events.on('descSkill2', (a) => {
            this.skill2 = a
        });
        this.menu1 = this.add.image(400 - 105,300,'tester').setInteractive()
        this.menu2 = this.add.image(400 + 105,300,'testeb').setInteractive()
        this.menu1.on('pointerdown', function(){
            this.events.emit('recebeMenu', this.skill1);

            this.scene.resume('cena001')
            this.scene.stop('menuskill')
        }, this)
        this.menu2.on('pointerdown', function(){
            this.events.emit('recebeMenu', this.skill1);

            this.scene.resume('cena001')
            this.scene.stop('menuskill')
        }, this)
       
        
    }

```

Thanks.

I think this is queued so it doesn’t happen immediately, only after the next game step.

I see, how do I pass information to the scene before starting it? Since it’s an auxiliary scene. thanks.

One way is the `data` argument, which is passed to scene `init()` and `create()`:

```
this.scene.launch('menuskill', { skill1: a, skill2: b });

```

Or it may be simpler to put some of these values in the game registry:

```
this.registry.set('skill1', a);
// …
const skill1 = this.registry.get('skill1');

```
