What i need is to set some values for a few movie clips and then use them all at once. Eg, i’ll have 5 mcs in my movie, each with either variable = 1 or variable = 2 etc assigned to each of them differently. Then i want to run some code kinda like

if (the variable on mc\_one \< 4){  
do some stuff  
}

Im not sure if im going about it the right way, but i think its fairly obvious what im trying to do. Thanks in advance for your help. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Sunday etc etc.
