Hi,

I have the following question:

I have 5 buttons inside a movie clip and i would like to work with the
variable IF.

For example, if the button 1 is released it plays the main timeline and after
finishing, tru the variable if, the timeline is redirected to a frame x.

i'm sorry if i haven't expressed me well because my english is not one of the
best.

As of button 1:

on(release){
_root.play();
bt="teste"
}


As of the last frame of the main timeline

if(bt=="teste"){
gotoAndPlay(233);
}


if the button is direcly placed on the stage the variable IF works normaly,
but when the button is inside a mc the _root.play(); action is normal but the
variable IF is simply ignored by the time line, and the timeline is not
redirected to frame 233.

could someone help me?
thanks,
Peter

You need to declare bt outside the on code block. Do this on the first key frame
var bt:String;
or
var bt:String = "";

sorry but i didn't get it, could you be more specific, " declaring for dummies"!
