FLASH: Variables in Movie clips Question.

[John Graham]

Variables in Movie Clips Question?


Ok I'm in the process of chaning my movie from referencing a bunch of

.swf's, to place a bunch of Movie clips into a scene.  What a better way to

learn Flash, than to do it both ways.  :-D


I have a MC, that has several buttons, that tells another movie clip to

play.  But I don't want it to play that movie clip if it is already and the

stoping point in the scene.  What I have for the Buttons is below...


On (Release)

      If (nato eq "go")

            Stop

      Else

            Set Variable: "nato" = "go"

            Begin Tell Target ("/titlehelmets")

                  Go to and Play ("ending")

            End Tell Target

      End If

End On


This then plays the MC titlehelmets, and the last frame has an action that

starts the next movie if the variable is set.  Unfortunatly it never plays

the next MC.


If (nato eq "go")

      Begin Tell Target ("/natocopy")

            Go to and Play ("start")

      End Tell Target

End If

Stop



I  have placed a Filed with the property name nato, in both the main

timeline, and the time line of the buttons, and neither are showing the

variable, so I'm not certain where the problem could be.


Does it look like I'm going about this the correct way?
