Changing _global variables

1

so… i have a core movie that loades external swf’s through


loadMovie("movie.swf", "movie");
loadMovie("movie2.swf", "movie2");

no problem.

But then there is a button in “movie”, that I am trying to have change a variable that “movie2” uses as a signal to do whatever.

I have tried all of the following (within an “on(release)” handler.


variable=true
_global.variable=true
_parent.variable=true
_root.variable=true
_parent._parent=true

none of these seem to work. What the heck am i doing wrong here?:puzzled:

BTW - I am using flash MX 2004 pro

thanks
