Re: FLASH: setting variable problem--HELP

But you're practically there!  (The "hard" part was figuring out that a

variable is required if you only have one button).  Unless I don't

understand what you're doing, you just need to use frame labels like

forlink1, forlink2, etc and then do a 


  Go to and Play ("forlink"&location)
