changing timeline variables from movie clip

Attachment 75976

uh this is probably a really easy fix but i cant figure it out for the life of me i have a movie on the normal uh root timeline and it has a boolean with it called movement and the movie clip has got 2 more movie clips in it so like 3 timelines i need to make so it on the last frame of the last movie clip its sets the boolean back on the the begining movie clip on the root timeline to true but i dont know how ive tried

MovieClip(this.parent).movement = true;
root.movement = true;
_parent._parent.movement = true;

i dont know what the hell im doing some one help me out
thanks in advance to anyone who respods

I have it for AS3 here:

Ok the root movieclip is called main_mc

Inside of the main_mc movieclip is 1 keyframe with this line:

PHP Code:

---

var BALLS=false; 


---

Inside of the main_mc movieclip is 1 movieclip called mc1

Inside of mc1 is 2 keyframes, the second keyframe has a stop();

The second keyframe of mc1 has a movieclip in it called mc2

mc2 has 6 keyframes, the first keyframe has this line:

PHP Code:

---

MovieClip(MovieClip((root).stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildByName("main_mc")).BALLS=true 


---

The 6th keyframe of mc2 has this line:

PHP Code:

---

MovieClip(MovieClip((root).stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildByName("main_mc")).BALLS=false
MovieClip(MovieClip((root).stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildByName("main_mc")).mc1.gotoAndStop(1) 


---

Hope that helps.


Here is another thing I did to set up a sequence, on the root timeline I wrote this:

PHP Code:

---

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
function loop(e:*){
trace(main_mc.BALLS)
} 


---

For mc2 you can put this on the 6th keyframe:

PHP Code:

---

MovieClip(MovieClip((root).stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildByName("main_mc")).mc1.gotoAndPlay(1) 


---

The output will look like this:

HTML Code:

---

false
true

true
false
