variable problem - this should be easy, right?

[TheOriginalFlashDavo]

I've set a variable in the first frame:

q1 = 0;

Then, in a button I'm trying to give the variable a new value:

on (release) {
q1 = 1;
}

Then, in another button (that the user won't push until after hitting the first button) I declare an "if-else" statement on mousedown, so that if q1 = 1 it does something, if not it does something else. I can't get the variable to change it seems.

Any help here?
If I haven't been quite clear enough then please ask for more info.

Cheers
Dave

Check the following

1. is your variable a global one, if u are using flash 4 u have to post it to the main timeline in order to make it available outside the clip

2. do u have any actions applied on mouseup aftér the mousedown?

3. did u trace your variable, that helps me alot personally.

hope u get it right

i am curious about your homepage it looks promising :-)

Thanks Larse,

I've worked it out now. Can't remember what was wrong, I tried too many variations I can't remember the original problem!!

Which homepage do you mean? This one, or my link below?
