simple path variable!!

[texbala]

i have a 'circle_mc' movieclip inside that 'circleInside_mc' and the code on that is...

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
var test;
test = 100;
}


code on _root frame 1

var c = _root.circle_mc.circleInside_mc.test;
trace(c);

why the value is not displayed. it says undefined.

thnx!!

it should work.
post fla.

[texbala]

here is the fla...

[magicwand]

it is because in flash, frame action is excuted first.
you have traced var before it load them.
ok?

[texbala]

still no luck.. i used a btn to get the trace action :confused: :confused:

[magicwand]

defining c in the frame will not work
if you put
var c = _root.circle_mc.circleInside_mc.test;
inside the button it will work
good luck

thnx.. magicwand...

I was trying to access a variable in a similar situation in another project.
I have a loaded mc which has a value of centerPoint equal to numeric value.
I wanted to change that dynamically when I press the btn on a main movie.

I was trying to change the centerPoint value of the loadedmc when the user scrolls it right or left. (the code which uses the centerPoint value is on the _root.holder.mask.mainimage
