Hello everyone.  
A simple question I’m sure but its been driving me slightly mad.  
I have created a program where a movieclip is affected by sliders which affect its size and blur etc.  
Problem is, I want to use the same sliders to effect a different movieclip when a button is pressed, switching the movieclip so to speak.  
I thought about switching to another frame in the main timeline but the code is still there which means they are still affecting the same movieclip.  
I also thought that if i could get the code to affect a single layer then I could direct my code towards that layer so anything on it would be affected independently.  
I’m not sure how to do this however, being a design student who has only been using actionscript for a couple of weeks.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Dan.
