Re: FLASH: Passing variables from a movie clip

[Jason_Schubring]

Hi.


It looks like you are setting the variable within the MC and trying to look for

it in the main timeline... that won't work.  Either send the variable to the

main timeline (/stopfilm) or check the MC's variable value from the main

timeline (/movieclipname:stopfilm).


Just don't set it in one place and check it in another. :-)


That should do it.  Good luck.
