FLASH: Mysterious variables, or : "If at first you don't succeed..."

[Anik Rigaud]

Well, I'll try again.

Maybe my yesterday's call for help was a bit confuse (but then again, it

could just have been totally uninteresting... Hmm, I won't consider this

second option) ;)


So, I have a variable embedded in a movie clip, and I want to address

this variable with a command in which the movie clip's name will be a

variable.


-> I can *set* this variable with the following line :

Set Variable: "/"&MyVariable&":Value" = "Hello, world !"


-> *but* I can't find a way to get back the value of this variable, for

example, I've tried to trace its value with :

Trace : "/"&MyVariable&":Value"

==> The output was... Well the correct path to the variable, obviously,

but *not* its value.


I've also tried :

Trace : /MyVariable:Value

==> And in that case, the trace output was void.


*Where* do I go totally wrong ? I feel it must be a syntax problem, but

maybe there's more to it than meets *my* eye ??!?


Thanx again,

Anik, now really confused   =;( ?
