Re: FLASH: Calling a variable from _level0

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi John,


I did a little test and using the following worked fine:


Load Movie (_level0:product, 5)


In the test, "product" was a variable residing on _level0 and a movie

loaded into level 1 called the above script and it worked ok with the value

of product loading into level 5.  Also tried a few versions of eval() but

they didn't work.  Seems like the problem might be elsewhere...
