i have a main clip that loads a bunch of clips into. All those clips are self sufficient working files on their own, but when loaded together ONLY the last clip loaded works. I don’t know why this is…as i’ve done it before.

basically whats happening is i have an “if” statement in each of the loaded clips and that “if” statement isn’t working when i do a trace…

the issue is regarding swfaddress… each clip has an if statement that says

if (page == “pagename”){  
//code here that tweens stuff etc…  
}

why is only the LAST clip working when all of the clips work by themselves. There is nothing that directs anything back to the main clip (\_parent, \_root, etc) so i’m not sure where the issue is. My output is showing the correct page, so everything is working except for the “if” that is checking the page name. Is there a way i can make the “page” variable global?
