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?

remove “things” and insert “i” (no pun intended) so it reads “i make things harder”! LOL!

Yeah, I think I popped quite a few brain cells on this one!  
:trout: 😛

Thanks again mah man for consistently coming through!
