Here's the answer from John (I had the same problem)

Maybe you have to study his "Introduction to Tell Target" on

http://www.FlashBible.com/members/TellTarget/ it's very useful.

Where is the MC play_variable_mc?

Where is the button or frame action?

Why don't you just save the variable on the main timeline?

     Such as     _level0/play_variable?



When you load a movie into an existing level (such as 1), the old movie

and its timeline no longer exists and all of its variables are

distroyed.

Saving the variable on the level zero movie works because it ontinues to

exist.


/  is the root (main timeline of the same movie)

_levelx is the main timeline of a movie on level x

Subject:  FLASH: Passing vairables from a movie clip



Ok... simple question.


Is it possible to pass a variable from a movie clip back to the main movie.


I want to be able to press a button in a movie clip and have it set a

variable to false  (ie "menu"=False)

Then in the main move I want another button (which has previously been told

that the variable menu=True) to know whether the variable Menu now equals

false.


If it's possible how do I do this ?
