Re: FLASH: Passing Variables between MC's

[Cheri Harder]

Thanks a bazillion, John.  I must've tried everything BUT the right way.

Barring further deviation by my brain into the fog, I may actually have a

draft of some sort of the "stretch/rotate/diminish" template before the next

millenium.  I couldn't get the scale to work clear through zero, so I flip

the character with a tell target at the right time.  I think it has

something to do with the "bounce" which creates overlap of the character and

it's predecessor, so it rocks back & forth too much when just using the

XScale.  Anyway, I still have to convert this "flipping" over to a variable

so they can pick which one(s) to flip.  I was also using tell target for the

rotation of the leaves.  I was able to convert the "# and series of

characters to rotate" to variables so the developer can select, but I may

try the rotation itself via "set properties," too.  Haven't looked at that

enough to see if it is possible, but am beginning to think anything is if we

try hard enough!  I have added a formula that shrinks & grows the character

based upon Y Position and takes the height of the movie as a parameter (Any

way I can Get at that property?  Movie Height?)  Anyway, still need to adapt

the X-Scale stretch to the Y-Scale...plus the "flipping" and the rotation if

I decide to do it...before I send for your perusal...hopefully Friday!
