Hi everyone,


It's been a while since I delved into flash and following some extensive

research, I just cannot find any help in reference to what I am trying

to achieve, so I am hoping someone in the list has already ventured down

this path and can give me some insight. I am no real programmer so

excuse my description details, I will try my best :) Any help would be

appreciated.. thanks.


I am simply attempting to pass a variable between two movie clips, so

that I can instigate an animated out sequence from within one MC and

into another MC currently playing a looped animation.


Within the animating loop,  I have a key frame script (at the end of the

loop) with a variable named "end loop = 0".  Now from within a 2nd MC,

I am tell targeting and passing an instruction into the 1st MC, enabling

that variable within the looped animation (../mc:endloop = 1) and then

tell target the play head to play a new label (using an if statement)

with the animated out sequence, relative to the looping animation.


If it was to logically work as I assumed, the play head would reach the

"set variable" within the 2nd MC, send it to the 1st MC and when the

play head reached that key frame it would instruct the play head to play

the suggested label representing the out sequence.


This does happen...   however the variable seems to activate prior to

the situated key frame within the loop, causing a jump in transition

between the animated loop and the out sequence.


I cant seem to isolate the instruction to take place within the end key

frame of the loop.

Can anyone please help me.


thank you.

regards,

joe.
