Hello guys! Long time no see.

Anyway on to the point! Im trying to send variables into movieclips, is there anyway i can do this? I mean I can't get Flash to do what i wanted it to do:
a single movieclip called clock<instance> with 2 hand(like a clock) and another movieclip called lab3l<instance> with a dyn.txtbx. var cityLable, i grouped this two movieclips together into mc named clockInstance<instance>, placed this (clockInstance) onto the stage centre (max centre) along with 2 buttons which point left and right.

when I click the 2 buttons pointin left and right, the clock instantly responds to a variable sent from the stage through clockInstance and into clock and lab3l. Easy.

What Im trying to archieve here is a world clock which displays world time, with the city name. I researched for these 4 cities but there could be more:

[warning: plain glibberish!]London (G.M.T), Beijing (G.M.T.+7), New York(G.M.T.-7) and Sydney (G.M.T.+10)[/warning]

now what im trying to do is to capture the computer time, set at G.M.T+7 and turn the hour hand this way and that. Easy.

Now the stupid coding of my brain comes in, I set a hell load of variables and try to use normal if and else ifs to decide which and what clock to use and how.

Im not gonna bore you I swear!!!

so Get to the REAL point, how do you send variables into Mcs and into the next MC?

Many Thanks!
