FLASH: Re:Getting variables from MCs

[Kevin Newman]

Hi James,


The problem with your score system is that you are trying to get the

variables from within the MC's at the end of the swf when they are not

present on the stage [ and I'm not even sure you can do that any way?!? ]

An easier way to do this is as follows;


Just set  "score = 0"  at the start of the main timeline then target this

variable from within the MC's correct answer buttons


On (Release)

Set Variable: ..:score = ..:score + 1

End On


And you won't even need to add them up!


Hope this helps,

Kevin
