[font=Arial]What if you have a movie at \_level0 and then you load a differnt movie into \_level0, which will overwrite the previous movie. How can you pass a variable to new movie.
example:
var varctirecid = ctirecid.text;
loadMovie(“WitsChangePw.swf”[varctirecid, POST], \_level0);
I look in Flash help and found this:
loadMovie(url:String,target:Object [, method:String]) : Void
In real life what does the syntax look.[/font]

make a \_global.yourv\Var
have ur external swf reference your main movie \_global.yourVar on first frame
if(\_global.yourVar == “x”){
//do your thing
}
don’t get heavy w/ ur \_globals
