passing variables between movies

[Egg Bramhill]

I don't know if this has already been covered but I'm stuck and no end of flicking thru the Flash manual helps.

I am writing a flash sequence that accepts variables. I can do this fine. However I need to load additional movies onto the original movie and transfer the values of the variables to the new movies ( .swf files )

I have tried every way imaginable but can not achieve this.

(I do not want to use a remote server, just have one movie (.swf) pass the variable contents onto another movie (.swf) as it is loaded by the first movie.

Has anyone any suggestions

Hi there, just try to load your movie with the "Load Movie" action setting it to a TargetName (not a Level) and then...
supposing your movie is loaded using "PIPPO" target name:
if u need to pass a variable instead of a value just use:
I hope to be useful... if not.. just ask..
bye

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Thanks for your help. In the end I did'nt use it as I found another work-around. I must admit this is one field of Flash that drives me up the wall. I'll have to look in some of the tutorials to gain more knowledge in this field.

Thanks for your help

You could store the variables using FS commands and JavaScript, and then retrieve them from the other movies from the FS commands. This method should work for you...

I replied to this thread recently. The thread shows 3 posts but only two appear. Don't know what happened to my original post (must have found a black hole).

It was a thanks to compy for his help. It helped greatly.
