Hey All!


Thanks for the advice on everything...i had already tried what most of you 

said.  Turns out its because its being loaded form a text file it doesn't 

see it as a number.  I tried the int(NumberOfClients) and such and it gave 

me zero.  Anyway i took that variable out and have flash scan the file now 

for how many clients there are.


Here's what i did in case anyone cares =)


4th frame of the movie:


Set Variable: "click" = 1

Set Variable: "number" = 1

Loop While (Eval("client"&number) ne "")

      Set Variable: "number" = number+1

End Loop

Set Variable: "NumberOfClients" = number-1

Load Movie ("client"&click&".swf", 5)

Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)


Next Button:


On (Press)

      Set Variable: "click" = click+1

      If (click > NumberOfClients)

            Set Variable: "click" = NumberOfClients

            Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

            Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)

            Begin Tell Target ("_level5")

                  Go to and Play ("up")

            End Tell Target

      Else

            Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

            Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)

            Begin Tell Target ("_level5")

                  Go to and Play ("up")

            End Tell Target

      End If

End On


Back Button:


On (Press)

      Set Variable: "click" = click-1

      If (click  = "0")

            Set Variable: "click" = 1

            Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

            Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)

            Begin Tell Target ("_level5")

                  Go to and Play ("up")

            End Tell Target

      Else If (click > NumberOfClients)

            Set Variable: "click" = NumberOfClients

            Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

            Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)

            Begin Tell Target ("_level5")

                  Go to and Play ("up")

            End Tell Target

            Load Movie ("client"&click&".swf", 5)

      Else

            Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

            Set Variable: "clientName" = Eval ("clientName"&click)

            Begin Tell Target ("_level5")

                  Go to and Play ("up")

            End Tell Target

      End If

End On
