how do i do it

tutorials?

examples?

i’m just starting out on this so i don’t have an example file or a very specific problem yet but i really would like some information on how to do this as i have no idea 🙂

purpose:  
i will have movie 1 which will load movie 2 … 1 will have a map and other features 2 will have people’s names, locations etc. i need for the location variable from 2 to be sent to 1 so i can display it somehow on the map … i’m not even sure yet how to do this or if it’s possible … so if anyone has had experience in this area … please let me know

let´s say you want to set the variable **loaded** located on the timeline of the clip check on swf on the level 1 with a new value of _true_ from the level2.  
the code on level 2 will look like this:

\_level1.check.loaded=true;

got it?
