FLASH: using variables (for a non-programmer)

[Danielle Roberts]

Hello list,


I'm working on a project where I use two modes to access pictures. 

The fist is interactive and uses tell target to go to the picture your

cursor is over. This is no problem.

The second is a slide show mode. I want to use the same movie clip as I use

for the interactive mode. For that purpos I've set a variable ("hier") in

every keyframe that has a new picture in it. I use a play button to start

the slide show. The button should get the number from the "hier" variable

and start playing from that point. I've tried the following code:


On (Release)

   Go to and Play (Eval (hier))

   Trace (hier)

End On


It does return the correct number but starts playing at the wrong keyframe.


Can anyone help me?


Thanks a lot, 


Danielle.
