Hi David.


Curtis Bay and I just worked on this same problem.  Can't store variables

but you can make a clip that 1) on rollover goes to frame "N," on rollout

goes to "next frame," where an action sends it back to "previous frame."

Variations of this will let you go to various places in the movie clip and

on rollout jump back to whatever the previous frame is.  Using this

relative frame command (rather than labels) allows the button to have the

same action (go to next, go to previous) but the clip "remembers" where it

was.  If you need more specificity, please describe your project in more

detail.
