sorry if this is a bit redundant, but I’m having problems with global variables… What I have is an intro swf, which has a series of buttons. If a button is selected, main.swf is loaded and a variable is passed (ie _global.startSection=“products”). The problem I’m having is once the swf loads, I can’t seem to use this variable to control which section loads first… here is the code I have on a mc on the first frame of main.swf
onClipEvent(load){
if(_global.startSection=="history"){
_parent.moveSlider(45);
_parent.linkIntro.gotoAndPlay("history");
}
if(_global.startSection=="products"){
_parent.moveSlider(172);
_parent.linkIntro.gotoAndPlay("products");
}
if(_global.startSection=="locations"){
_parent.moveSlider(311);
_parent.linkIntro.gotoAndPlay("locations");
}
if(_global.startSection=="press"){
_parent.moveSlider(429);
_parent.linkIntro.gotoAndPlay("press");
}
if(_global.startSection=="contact"){
_parent.moveSlider(540);
_parent.linkIntro.gotoAndPlay("contact");
}
}
moveSlider is a animation function for the section. and LinkIntro plays an animation correlating with the section selected… please help, I’m about to pull my hair out!!
