FLASH: Button dilemma!

[Erich Miller]

Hello!


    I have a MC on my main time line that has 3 buttons in it. When you

press either one, another MC plays and then stops. All is good. But,

what I want to happen is when another button is pressed, the previous MC

closes and/or finishes it's movie in it's own MC. I have been playing

around with Tell Target and Variables but nothing is working!

An example of my script:


On (release)

   If ("contact" = "1")

     Begin Tell Target (_level0/contact,21)

     End Tell Target

   EndIf

Begin Tell Target....etc


What I was trying to do was set a variable when the button was pressed

(Set Variable "contact" = "1"). Then when another button was pressed, I

put the above in the button's action. If contact = 1 then go finish

playing the MC at frame 21 then come back and play the next MC for the

button pressed.


It's not working! :-(  Help!

Thanks much!


    Erich
