Ok. if you don't find a static address this means either you don't know how to find it, or the game/process you're trying to scan is an emulator (like flash for example)
if it is an emulator you're out of luck. (you can try hooking btw)
if it isn't, here is how you can find it (if you're lucky)
after getting the pointer address (that you are supposed to make a 4byte HEX search for)
you take that address, and at cheat engine :
Value type = 4bytes
Scan type = value between
First value = the address subtract a random number from it (not too high, example : 0xA40B4CF ---> 0xA40B000)
Second value = the address add to it a random number...
and remember to search in HEX
this will maybe work but you might need to verify the pointer and see if it stays the same...
OTHERWISE you can always take a look at the 'Memory view' and reverse your way out of this problem...
, you can make a trainer with C# or VB, and use that Themebase stuff to style your forms
