I'm going to join in on this discussion, this is exactly what I'm trying to

figure out myself.


I'm trying to set a variable in the beginning and end of a movie, where I

try to set the variable "continue" to false, and at the end to true. Then in

a parent movie, I have a button that is suppose to load another child movie,

but not until the variable is true.


This is what I have for the button,


On (Release)


      Begin Tell Target ("_level14")


            Go to and Play ("goodbyebeauty")


      End Tell Target


      Begin Tell Target ("_level15")


            Go to and Play ("goodbyecopy")


      End Tell Target


      Begin Tell Target ("_level12")


            Go to and Play ("goodbyetitle")


      End Tell Target


      Loop While (Eval (continute) = "False")


      End Loop


      Load Movie ("products/nato/nato.swf", 3)


End On




Do I need to put some sort of pause in the loop?
