Re: FLASH: Help! my variables are being ignored :(

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Matt,

	Scenes can be very helpful in the development stage of a project but it

is best to convert your scenes to Movie clips when you are ready to

publish. If you really must use scenes, then you really need to have all

your "go to frame" actions changed to "go to label"

actions. This is because a Flash swf file does not recognized scenes at

all. It converts all scenes to one timeline with no scene breaks. And

even with following this advice scenes still can present problems.

	Did you try converting your variable names to start with letters and

not numbers? Did it help?
