FLASH: Passing Variables between MC's

[Cheri Harder]

I thought I knew how to reference variables along with the appropriate path

to the movie clips...but am beating head against wall today.  I have a movie

clip, instance name "Main" on the main timeline.  Within this MC I have a

Movie clip with a button.  For one of the actions of this button instance, I

want to reference a variable (rq) set in the MC named "Main"  Output window

shows:


Variable _level0/Main:rq = "3"


Now, within the inner MC, I have tried to set a new var based on the outer

var thusly:


      Set Variable: "rq2" = eval(_level0/Main:rq )


as an expression.


But, rq2 is coming out null


Seems like there was a "recent" post about this very thing, but cannot find

it, nor reference to the passing of variables in Flash Central's "path..tell

target" pages and checked a few other sources too...


aargh!  Maybe I need a beer.
