I figured out that variables in MC's (like separate swf's) keep their own

Variables, and I figured out how to call variables in the main time line,

thus fixing the problem.


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


AND



If (/:nato eq "go")

Begin Tell Target ("/natocopy")

Go to and Play ("start")

End Tell Target

End If

Stop


So all is well now, on to the next problem.  I know most probably knew the

answer, figured I'd answer it to save everyone the bandwidth.  Thanks to all

those who have been tolerating my elementary level quesitons.
