Ok, I feel dumb ;( I have 2 movie Clips. On the first mc I have some code like this…

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
pick = 1;  
}  
on (mouseDown) {  
pick = 0;  
}  
[/AS]

And on the second mc I am trying to use use the pick variable in an if statement and I cannot get it to find that variable. I cannot even trace that variable from the 2nd mc… I’ve tried tracing like:

trace(pick);  
trace(\_root.pick);  
trace(\_level0.pick);

And everytime it just comes up with undefined ☹ Anyone know why :d:
