FLASH: Help with passing variables between TELL TARGETs

[Dino Micouris]

Hi All,


I'm trying some fancy things with Flash4 which require that I set up variables and pass them onto a target called "leftspin". Basically, I've set up a movie called "leftspin" as a control button that does something to another movie. What I'm trying to do is set up a variable that tells the "leftspin" which movie target to do the actions to.


What's happening is, the variable is being set okay before the target call for "leftspin", but once inside "leftspin" the variable gets cleared. Therefore, it seems that unless I hardcode a movie for "leftspin" to work on, it won't allow you to make it variable. Can anyone tell me whether I'm trying the impossible, or whether I'm overlooking something?


Cheers!




Kind Regards
