FLASH: Variables information

[Tiffany S. Martin]

Hi, New here but hoping someone can send me in the right direction to solve my current dilemma.


I am creating a flash project that has interactive drag n' drop, nothing new.  However the client would like to save the information to be able to go back to the movie and pick-up where they left off. I have the information going out to a database and being called up from the database on the 1st frame and setting the text fields with the saved information.  Where I am having problems is then evaluating the "variable" to then move the object to it's last know position.


I have tried variations on the following script with no luck, and have gone through what seems like endless technotes & tutorials without seeing how they might apply to what I need to do.  Any advice/comments welcome.




Frame 1: Contains actionscripting to load variables, this works 

Frame 2: (Sample, not working)

	If ("/:H_var1" eq "C")

		Begin Tell Target (/C")

			Set Property (".../C", X position) = 434

			Set Property (".../C", Y position) = 618

		End Tell Target

	End If
