FLASH: Passing variables -- Got It finally

[2Nerotik]

Ok since I didn't get any help from any of the 3 Lists... I decided I was 

going to go directly to the source and email Macromedia myself.


However upon searching their site I came upon my answer.


To set a Variable in a Movie Clip and be able to access that variable from 

the main movie all you need to do is this.


In a Movie clip

Set Variable

--> in the Variable window add ..:variable  in my case it would be  ..:MenuOpen

--> in the Value window add what ever your value is in my case False


It may be hard to see but there are 2 dots (periods) followed by a colon 

then the variable name


On the Main Stage

If (MenuOpen=False)

   Do this

End If


Note you also pass variables from a movie clip within a movie clip this way.

and Macromedia's example at:

see Mine at work at http://www.nisa.net/~2nerotik/Main.html


If you do try it out the only button menu working at the moment are Swing 

Bands & Swinguistics (none of the sub menu buttons link to anything at the 

moment) and none of the other buttons  have menus because of this dumb 

little problem.
