Parsing a global value from one swf to another

programming flash
1

Hi there,

I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this problem. I have 2 swf files (bottom_menu.swf) and (side_menu.swf). I do need to retrieve global values from both swf files so that i could play certain frames.

I tried this from someone who post on this forum but doesnt work:

[COLOR=“red”]from (side_menu.swf):[/COLOR]
on (press)
{
if(_global.menu04current==1&&_global.menu04!=0)
{
_root.m4.gotoAndPlay(12);
}
if(_global.menu06current==1&&_global.menu06!=0)
{
_root.m6.gotoAndPlay(18);
}
_global.menu05current=1;
[COLOR=“Red”]_global.menu05=1;[/COLOR]
this.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.m5.m5sub02.gotoAndStop(1);
}

[COLOR=“red”]from (bottom_menu.swf):[/COLOR]

var sas = new LoadVars();
sas.load(“side_menu.swf”);
[COLOR=“red”]trace(sas.menu05);[/COLOR]

it returns me “undefined”.
i tried trace(_root.menu05) or even (_root.menu05) bt still didnt work.
Your help is much appreciated
