how to pass variable from MC to MC

[iliap]

Hi!
I have a problem with pasing variable..
Here is my code

On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("cover")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
Begin Tell Target ("monitor")
Set Variable: "myframe" = "transition1"
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
End On

On the monitor MC
(the blank MC that has 2 frames)
on the second frame

If (GetProperty ("/mcfirst/cover", _currentframe )>10)
Begin Tell Target ("/mcfirst")
Go to and Play (myframe)
End Tell Target
Go to and Stop (1)
End If

So I want to be able to pass variable when I click the button and to go to the speciphic frame in my "mcfirst"
movie. I know I am almost there and the problem is with seting variable with frame label
Thanks for any help

Hi ok here is what I think;
u used:
Set Variable: "myframe" = "transition1"

I think it should be:

Set Variable: "/monitor:myframe" = "transition1"

Ok is transition1 variable or simply a string cos if its a variable you have to use Eval statement.

did it work ?

Hi Mad_sci, thanks for the respond., it is not working yet, but i know i am close, very close.
Now I changed the code, myframe="transition1" is the label of the frame where playback should go after command comming from Monitor MC, but still something wrong.

on the button
On (Release)
Set Variable: "myframe" = "transition1"
Begin Tell Target ("cover")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
Begin Tell Target ("monitor")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
End On





on the monitor MC

If (GetProperty ("/mcfirst/cover", _currentframe )>10)
Begin Tell Target ("/mcfirst")
Go to and Play (Eval ( /mcfirst:myframe))
End Tell Target
Go to and Stop (1)
End If
Thanks again
Ilia
