Hi!  
I have a movieclip on the scene. I also have a button on the scene and when I press the button I want to send a variable-value to the movieclip. I have a variable set in the actual frame on the main-timeline but the movieclip doesn´t catch that, when traced I get undefined. Can I send a value from the main-timeline to a moviclips timeline?
