My problem is this:
1. I cant play the movie clip triggered by a button outside a movie clip.
on (release){
_root["animate"].gotoAndPlay("move");
}
2. I generated a variable named myVariable inside the movie clip but i cant display the value when called outside the movie clip.
myVariableOutside=_root[animate].myVariable;
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

b3nch08,
Must have been a long day!!!:)
The only thing you need to add in order to make
the mc play is an instance name.
The mc "animate" had the instance name field blank!!
Hope this helps!:)

b3nch08,
The fla file that I got had a movie name of "animate"
and it didn't have a instance name.
Ctrl + i to bring the instance panel up and then
select the movie by clicking on it. Check the
name field, is it blank? If it isn't then the fla
file I got is different than yours.

oh! thanks!!! it's working now. :)
by the way, is it the same process when you access the variables inside the movie clip?

Not quite sure of that last question!! But I will try to answer!
Any time you target a movie, you will use the instance name
unless it is the movie you are targeting from.
Examples:
mc with name of "movie1" and an instance name "m1"
and you wanted to set a variable "var1" to equal numeric 5
_root.m1.var1 = 5;
same for checking what is in the variable (will use if statement) and check for
contents to be a numeric 5 and if it is a five will tell instance name "m1" to do something
if (_root.m1.var1 == 5) {
_root.m1.gotoAndPlay(lable );
}
Hope this helps!:)
MA
