Ok, I’ve been working on this for hours and can’t figure it out.
I have a swf file that plays, and when a button is clicked it sets a global variable and loads a movie:
on (release) {
_global.gateStat=0;
loadMovieNum(“Security Cams.swf”, 5);
}
Now, in the loaded movie, there is a button that checks the global variable and acts accordingly. (this is just the code I’m using to try and get it to work. It would be more complex later lol )
on (release){
if (_global.gateStat == 0) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
I’ve also tried
on (release){
if (gateStat == 0) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
I want the security cams movie to go to frame 5, which it does without the if statement. The problem is, when I include the if statment it doesn’t seem to reconize the global variable. With that code running when I hit the button, it does nothing. If I remove the if and it’s just
on (release){
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
it runs fine, but once I add in the if with the variable check it doesn’t work anymore. Am I declaring it or assigning the value incorrectly?
