Re: FLASH: GETTING VARIABLE VALUE FROM _LEVEL0 to _LEVEL3?

[Cheri Harder]

http://www.flashzone.com/actionscript/storedata.html has some good Variables

information, including:


"  Referring to Variables Across Timelines


  Variables are associated with Timelines. So, if you create a variable XYZ

in one of the Keyframes on the main timeline, you

  can simply refer to it by name anywhere else on the main timeline.

Similarly, if you create a variable in Movie Clip symbol,

  you can refer to it by name from within that Movie Clip.


  If you're familiar with the Tell Target action, you'd remember that

FlashPlayer Movies have a specific way of referring to

  Movie Clip instances across Timelines and Levels. Variable addressing is a

simple extension of this existing system. Here are

  a few examples:


       Set Variable("XYZ","some_value")

       Create or set a variable named XYZ in the same timeline as this

Keyframe or Button instance.


       Set Variable("/Some_clip:XYZ","some_value")

       Create or set a variable named XYZ in the timeline of /Some_clip,

which would be a Movie Clip instance placed

       somewhere on the main timeline.


       Set Variable("/:XYZ","some_value")

       Create or set a variable named XYZ in the main timeline of this

Level.


       Set Variable("_level1/Some_clip:XYZ","some_value")

       Create or set a variable named XYZ in the timeline of /Some_clip, a

Movie Clip instance located on the main timeline

       of the FlashPlayer Movie loaded into Level 1.


  Notice that all that really changes here is the addressing prefix that

appears in front of the variable name."


This is from a tutorial on The Flash Zone.


HTH!
