RE: FLASH: Passing Variables from Root Timeline to MC

[Branden Hall]

Why don't you head over to Flashlite.net and read my Brain article series

over there... the first one in particular will give you a better

understanding of how the MC tree hierarchy works.

In short, its just like a directory tree, you need to use specify the path

to another MC if you want to reference variables in that MC.

Subject: FLASH: Passing Variables from Root Timeline to MC





Hi everyone.


I am trying to develop a Jeopardy like game.  I want the person to be able

to

click the dollar amount (button on the main screen) displayed on the main

board,

have the system identify what category and dollar amount was displayed and

then

pass that variable to a MC to display the question associated with that

category

and dollar amount.  I have a series of text files that will store the

questions,

so these would be loaded at the beginning of the game.


Once the question has been answered, I then need that dollar amount button

to

disappear off the screen.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
