d-oh!!!

those files were for flash 5 on a pc. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] i didn't realize you were in flash 4. hmmm...try this:

set variable "myvariable" = _levelX/movieclipname:variablename

where X is the level, movieclipname (if applicable) is the name of the movieclip that contains the variable, and variablename is the name of the variable. So, for example, if you have a variable called "foo" in the main timeline of level 0, then reference it like so:

set variable "bar" = _level0:foo

if foo is in a movieclip called "plugh" then use:

set variable "bar" = _level0/plugh:foo

and that SHOULD do it. it's been a while, though, so i might be misremembering, but this should put you on the right track...


hth,
Deep (just a guy)
