Re: FLASH: Setting Veriables

[John Graham]

Hey Cheri,


Thanks for the help with that.  I fought a bit with the Variables this

morning, had them set as expression as opposed to StringLiteral, but got

that fixed.  Figured I would post how it was done.


The Navigation Button, has these actions,


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

      Set Variable: "ButtonNato" = "True"

End On


The Variable ButtonNato is set, then in the end of each of the movies that

are ending, I am placing the following..



If ("ButtonNato" = "True")


      Load Movie ("products/nato/title.swf", 12)

End If


There are the if statements for the other buttons, but I left them out to

save space.  And it works well.   I must say though I would hate to see the

code if there were 10+ buttons.
