Aight, I’ve managed to solve most of my issues with this stupid FLA. However, here is one more issue. Somehow, in my FLA all of my \_globals become undefined inside a MC. I really am either stupid of this crap is just buggy…

Can somebody plz take a look and tell me what the hell is going on.

If you look @ my FLA on Layer 4 in the root I pass the \_global.GradePV to a input box and then in \_root.gradeStrip.Symbol11 I do a trace on the same Var and it write undefined.

plz plz plz somebody help me out here.

Thanks,  
DP

Replace all \_global’s with \_root, that always works for me.

It didn’t work.

A matter a fact I created another variable called gradePV1 on the \_root and then gave it a value and then tried to called it from inside that MC and that didn’t work either… Ⓜ :hangover: :crazy: :\*(

I just found out that inside the onEnterFrame = function() it doesn’t work but if I put it outside of that then it does work. What the hell is wrong with this?
