That syntax seems fine, but what are you trying to do with it.

If you are unloading the movie on level 1 you would lose all variables

saved on level 1. 2 solutions if this is your problem..

1) don't unload the movie, Park it (put it in an empty frame).

2) Save the variable on level 0. For instance in the last frame of the

level 1 movie put something like this:

Set Variable: "_level0/counter" = "1"


Maybe your problem is paths then see --->

Otherwise post your script or upload your file (zipped or bin-hexed)

with an explanation (short) of what you want to do.
