Re: FLASH: passing variables to other swfs?

[2Nerotik]

Yes I finally figured it out... no I didn't know the answer either but with

a little trial and error.


This is the answer


       Begin Tell Target ("_level#")

             Set Variable: "varName" = "varValue"

       End Tell Target


Where # is the level you are targeting

varName is the the name of the variable you want to set.

varValue is the value you want to give the variable.


and I think if the variable was in a MC on a different level

then it would be  Begin Tell Target ("_level#/MC Instance Name")
