Most of the time, when I need loaded variables in different places (MC's) I load them in the main timeline and call them for the
MC's themselves.

So, if the main timeline has these loaded variables:

var1="blah"
var2="more blah"
var3="lotsa blah"

and you have 3 MC's (mc1-mc2-mc3) with 1 textfield each:

mc1 textfield = called varText1

action in mc1:
vartext1=_root.var1
-----------------------
mc2 textfield = called varText2

action in mc2
varText2=_root.var2
----------------------
mc3 textfield = called varText3

action in mc3
varText3=_root.var3

---------------------
To sort of automate this, if all MC's are in the main timeline at the same time, you could have an action like this (in the main
timline)

for (i=1; i<=3; i++){
_root["mc"+i]["varText"+i]=_root["var"+i]
}

hth,
Muzak
