RE: FLASH: getting data from a movie clip

[Keenan Keeling]

Justin,


You don't need to use a function to get that variable.  You need to know the

absolute or relative path to the movie clip  that contains the variable.

For example...


If the variable is on the main timeline, and you want to access it from a

movieclip called MC, then:


	absolute path:  /:{variable name}

	relative path:  ../:{variable name)


You can access any variable in the movie in this manner.  The variables are

not by definition global, but you do have access to them if you know the

path.

Subject: FLASH: getting data from a movie clip



Hello,


I'm a little new to flash programming but have picked it up well, but I have

a problem


I have a flash movie and a movie clip where I set a var on the main flow

line I have a if statement that looks for that var created and set in the

movie clip for some reason I doesn't work ??? Is there some func to pull out

the var and are all var in a flash movie global I don't think they are.


Thanks,

Justin Barta
