Variable Question?

Ok - hoping I can communicate this effectively. :slight_smile:

I’m working on a CD-Rom project. I have a menu with 13 buttons. When you click a button, the menu disappears, the background zooms in and plays a video. When it’s finished, it zooms back out and the menu reappears.

The zooming in, calling a video and zooming out is in ONE mc. Since I have to do this 13 times (per each button click), instead of having 13 of the same movie clips (mc_room1, mc_room2, etc) is there a way to pass a variable so that it will play the zoom sequence, play whatever number of video, then do it’s regular animation to zoom out?

Does that make sense at all? I hope so. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!

thanks - R
