FLASH: onClipEvent(data)

[Helen Triolo]

Has anyone successfully used onClipEvent(data)?  I have a movieclip that

does a LoadVariables and returns a variable to the main timeline from a

perl script.  If I put a standard 2-frame wait loop in, it works fine --

the variable shows up in the Flash movie.  But if I replace the loop

with an instance of the movieclip that has


onClipEvent(data) {

	_root.gotoAndStop("display");

}


as the Object Action on one frame (labelled loop), and

gotoAndPlay("loop") in the next frame, I never get past the "loop"

frame.  Does the variable have to be returned to the movieclip instead

of the main timeline? (I tried that and couldn't get it to work

either).  I don't think I need to have a loop at all, but how do I get

past the onClipEvent(data) frame?  Any examples of this on the net

anywhere?  (I tried macromedia and flashkit -- no luck)


tia,

Helen
