Variables

im having trouble with referencing variables. how can i go about putting a variable in the root on frame one and referencing it from other movie clips. ive tried everything i can think of. i know this is probably something simple and im gonna kick myself for not being able to get it to work.

Just note that you need to make sure that the data is put into the variable before you get it from somewhere else.

/Mirandir

do this:

ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]</p>
<p>_root.[COLOR=#000080]var1[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#ff0000]“test”[/COLOR];</p>
<p>
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

then you can access it anywhere using:

ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]</p>
<p>_root.[COLOR=#000080]var1[/COLOR]</p>
<p>
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

the bbcodes are ****ed up on this site.

I love them :slight_smile:
