FLASH: variables...please help

[Jim Warwick]

hey flashers.


i'm not very advanced in flash, but i'm trying to expand my horizons. i'm 

working with variables in 2 places on my site but neither is working.  i 

have a movie clip on the main timeline with several buttons in it.  when 

each button is clicked it sets a variable and it goes to a certain frame and 

plays the movie clip.  here's the syntax for each button


On (Release)

   Set Variable: "prof"="button1"  (other buttons are "button2", "button3", 

etc.)

   Go to and Play "35"

End Release


Then when the movie clip is done playing, i have a frame action on it that 

stops the movie and has an if statement saying basically if button1 was 

pressed load movie "movie1", if button2 was pressed load movie "button2"....


here's the syntax


Stop

If (prof="button1")

  Load Movie "button1.swf,1)

Else If (prof="button2"0

  Load Movie "button2.swf,1)

...


the point of this situation is just so i can get the movie clip to finish 

playing before the swf gets loaded into place.  this is not working for some 

reason.  no, matter what button i press it always loads movie "button1.swf"  

(or whatever the first condition is in the if statement).   if anyone knows 

a better way to do what i am trying to do, please help.  i've spent WAY too 

much time running around in circles on this problem.  Thanks in advance.


Jim
