How would I setup this scenario:

I have a text, and when released, it needs to set the variable var1 = to 1. And then loadMovie.

The movie that will play needs to have a script that says if var=1 then display this button, else display something else.

How would I go about doing this? Also, would I have to specify the var1 to = something before hand, that way it has some value?

The finished result will have a navigation menu that has 4 different menu choices. I can click Movie 1, Movie 2, Movie 3, and Play All. If I click Movie 1, it will load the external Movie 1. If I click Play All, it will load Movie 1 as well.

However, Movie 1 will have a script that says, if var1=1 (meaning the Play All button was clicked), then when the movie is finished, display the Next button, which will be a button that loads the Movie 2 externally. If the var1 is not equal to 1 (meaning the Play All button was not clicked), then have it display something else.

Btw, Movie 1 will be the same as #2 and #3.
