If the external variable is loaded on the main timelne:


Loop While (n <> /:xForumCount)

      Set Variable: "n" = n+1

End Loop


This will work if xFormCount includes only a 4 (or any number) and no

spaces or returns because when evaluated by <> it is treated as a

number.


>From MC2 which is in MC1 which is on the main timeline:

../:xForumCount would refer to xFormCount in MC1 and

../../:xForumCount would also refer to xFormCount the main timeline.


/:xFormCount refers to the variable xFormCount on the main timeline from

anyehere in the movie.
