Re: FLASH: Quick Easy Variable Question,

[Cheri Harder]

Yes, John, that is exactly how I set and retrieve variables I want to be

"global"  -  I either put them on the main timeline in the main-level movie,

or create a separate movie clip that is always present, and call them there.


But I sure would not set a yes/no variable for each of your buttons.  I

would set ONE variable, call it "moviename" and then each of your buttons

will change the value of that one variable to the name of the movie you want

to load.


So, button number one will set "moviename" = "movie1.swf"

button number two, set "moviename" = "movie2.swf" etc.......

Then at the end of your child movies, you just have to say "Load movie

(moviename,3)" or however that syntax is...and you don't have all of those

"if" statements you were talking about earlier...


HTH!!
