I have 2 movies I want to use together 1.swf is the main movie, 2.swf is the one to be loaded. here is the set up:

in 1.swf I have 2 buttons, on each is the loadMovie() code for on(release).
I have an emptyMC named "empty" on the stage of 1.swf.

In 2.swf 1st frame, actions layer I have a var and an if/else statement.
2.swf is a 3 frame movie, frame 1 is blank, frame 2 and 3 have different animations. The var on frame one directs which frame to go to:

Code:
stop();
var getMe:Number = 0;
if (_root.getMe == 1) {
	_root.gotoAndStop(2);
} else if (_root.getMe == 2) {
	_root.gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
	trace("staying here");
}
in 1.swf the buttons have:

Code:
on (release){
     loadMovie("2.swf", _root.empty);
}
All works great, yes? Problem arises in that I want to pass a variable (getMe) to 2.swf from the button press.

According to the help sections I can use variable with GET or POST:

loadMovie( " url ", level / target [ , variables ])

So what can I do to make it so a button in 1.swf uses these [ variables ] to pass a 1 or 2 to the getMe?

Something like:

Code:
on (release){
     loadMovie("2.swf", _root.empty,[getMe==1]);
}
I can't get anything to work, and I can't find an answer anywhere...
