The changing of the variable a1 in the next frame of the movieclip does

work.  However, since the variable is inside the Movie Clip "1a" it is local

to that movie clip.  For rg, which is outside the movieclip, to be able to

access that variable you need to define the variable as rg =

movieclipInstanceName.a1, where movieclipInstanceName is the name of the

instance of that movie clip.


But.... Flash doesn't like instances that start with a number.  So you can

either change the name of the instance to an something like "i1a" or you can

make your a1 variables more global by adding "_root" or "_parent" to the

start of the a1 variables inside your instance (i.e. _root.a1 = 1).  It's

better practice though to name your instance with a letter to begin with.  I

generally prefer using the letter i to indicate an instance.


One last thing, you need to change the Stop action in layer "Action for A"

to GotoandPlay(4) and move it a few frames to the right.  Otherwise rg won't

update.


Even after all this the variable rg won't update immediately.  If you want

an immediate update, set rg = a1 in the same script the sets a1 to a number.


Hope that helps.
