Hi Thorvald.  Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I was wasting my time.  If I

really felt like that, I'd never read or post anything here, but in fact

I always learn something from it--even (or maybe especially?) when I'm

wrong.  But mc's *do* talk to each other--that's the whole point of

having paths and nesting, etc.  To retrieve something from the main

timeline while you're in a movieclip, you just address the something

with a "/" in front of it (or a "/:" if it's a variable).  Maybe if you

post your code here, we could take a look at it.  I'm not sure you can

load variables into a particular mc (as Jason suggested, and he may be

right), but I know you can load them to the main timeline, and I know

you can access the main timeline from *anywhere* if you use the right

path, so that solution really should work!


Regards,

Helen
