Hi friendly flash heads!

So heres my problem. I have MC timelines, with script and variables inside them, and i need to access these variables in the main timeline, or from other MC timelines, how do you do this. I guess i baisically need to store the variables somewhere they are globally accessable, but i don’t know how, any ideas?

I realise that i probably havn’t followed best practices for coding up to here and that really it would be best if i didn’t need to do this at all… buuuuut any ideas [grin].

Cheers Drk
