RE: FLASH: variables embedded in mc

[flash]

Your variables are not sent from the main timeline because they have

been stored in the submovies. If you want the variables sent add /: so

they are stored in the main timeline.


Set Variable: "/:newsletter" = "yes" (both literals)

Subject: FLASH: variables embedded in mc



Hi list, I have a problem here I hope someone can help me with. I have a

checkbox that I have created as a movie clip that contains 2 button

instances, 1 for the checked state and 1 for the unchecked state. On

press of the checkbox, the MC timeline jumps to the proper frame that

shows the proper graphic, AND sets the variable to 1 of 2 states

(checkbox=yes or checkbox=no). My problem is that I want to pass these

variables to a database from a click of a button from the MAIN timeline,

and it is not working. As of now, these are how I have the variables

set:


MC Frame 1 that contains button instance:

on (Release)

Go to Next Frame

Set Variable: "newsletter" = "yes" (both literals)

End On


MC Frame 2 that contains button instance:

on (Release)

Go to previous Frame

Set Variable: "newsletter" = "no" (both literals)

End On


Is this a tell target issue? Any help appreciated!
