updating var

[gordonart]

I have this code in an mc.


//////
function musikstil(a,b){
a.onRollOver = function(){
a.gotoAndStop("over");
}
a.onRollOut = function(){
a.gotoAndStop(1);
}
a.onRelease = function(){
b.gotoAndStop(b._currentframe + 10);
if(b._currentframe == 60){
b.gotoAndStop(1);
}
trace(_global.valA);
}
}

/////
musikstil(stil1.val,stil1);

I want to change the value of _global.valA in the different frames in b, like putting "_global.valA = 1" in frame 30 but the trace only seems to remember the value I had put in the startframe 1.

What am I missing?

try working with all your script on one frame if you can on your main timeline, not on a MC or Button etc, it keeps your whole scripts more tidy and problems are easier to find etc etc, if you put it all on your main frame, you need to use tellTarget and then vars can be changed like

var a:Number = 1;

i dont exactly see what your doing anyway, it looks like when youve clicked one button you need it to go onto button b, why not just use
btnapressed = true;
inside the brackets where a is pressed and then
if(btnapressed) {
//allow btn b to be pressed
}

I have a button(a). When you click on that button a mc(b) will goto different "holds". So with the a-button you can select different frames ( with names ). One one of the names are the right one.
So I am trying to find a good way to know that the right name is selected by the button.
There will be four more buttons like this and also a button where you click and give you the answer if you selected the right names with the buttons.

it might just be the fact that you keep looping through the declaration of the variable, setting it to its begin value every frame.
