Hi all,

I am using a slider component someone else created. Basically I have a MC that has two frames, and depending on the current slider position, the different frame of the movie is to be played. However, I cannot retrieve the current value of the slider. Can anybody help?

The slider component has the following variables:  
myIntFlag  
myInitialValue  
myHgh  
myLow  
myLength

And it also has a function called findValue(Low, High, Percent)  
Just to see if any variable associated with the slider component will display, I gave slider instance name “slider” and the two-frame MC “test”. On “test”, I tried

onClipEvent (load) {  
trace (slider.myLow);  
}

But when I run the movie, it outputs “undefined”.

Thanks!

Is that the correct path for slider?
