I am doodling at work :jail: and wondering if this is possible. Unfortunately I don’t have flash in front of me so I can’t test it but since my AS is so horrible it probably wouldn’t help anyway!

I want this on an MC:  
[AS]  
i = 0;  
switch(thing){  
case 0:  
some action; break;  
case 1:  
some other action; break;  
default:  
i++;  
}

if (i \< 7) {  
switch (i) {  
case 1:  
something else; break;  
case 2:  
something something else; break;  
}}  
[/AS]

etc.

Basically what I’m wondering is, will I lose the value of i in the first switch once I’m out of the switch? Can the second switch read the 1st switch?
