I have a site that has button selectable backgrounds. SO you click a button, and it sets the background appropriately. Now later in the site, I want a button send you to a certain frame dependent on which background you chose.

So I think what I need to do is set a Variable when the background is selected, and check for that variable with a conditional statement. however, I don’t know where to begin.

I need to the variable to be global, and I am unsure of the best syntax to use to do this. And also i am not sure how to check for it, and write the conditional statement for it to work.

Can anyone help?
