Sound loader prob

Hi all
I just went through the gotoandlearn.com mp3 player tut.
all fine
from there i have decided to create an audio control bar.
this is where I am having problems. the increase bar for the sound levels is nested with in a movieclip.
all code is loaded using #include"mp3.as" and “slider.as”
But on different stage levels.

The vars that I have created to handle the slider position, do store the appropriate values, UNTIL I try to access those variables from a separate as file.

Its doin my head in either way.

is it a problem with the include# function?
would it be easier if I create classes for each component? (all though the classes would only be initiated once)

code in next post…

cheers in advance
