Is it possible to access a global variable from an swf on a different level than another (outside of movies)? Or are they only global in the sense that they can be accessed from different scenes in the _same_ movie? I want to check whether or not a certain movie (called by loadMovie) is on a certain frame (if else statement), and then act accordingly (tell it to play a certain frame in that movie [shut itself down, figuratively], or nothing). I’ve not used global vars so far, hence the newbie question. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
