FLASH: Getting variables from MCs

[James Cutts]

Hi all


Can anyone help me with my little action-scripting question:


I have a main time-line ('movie') with 10 MCs strung along it with instances

of QI - Q10.


Each of these MCs allows the user to assign a value to

a variable.


The code within the MCs is:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "q1" = 1

End On


and so on up to "q10".


I then need to add these variables up.

So I have a frame at the end of the movie containing the following code:


Set Variable: "score" = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 + q6 + q7 + q8 + q9 + q10


I then need to display the 'score' to the user so i have an editable text

field (in the last frame of the movie) with a variable of "score" which I

know is set up correctly.


Now the problem: It doesnt work. I think its because I need to specify a

path to the individual MCs to get their values but I dont know the correct

syntax.


Can anyone help?


TIA
