    How are variables localized in flash ?
    Lets say I have two arrays of variables (a_1 - a_5 &
    b_1 - b_5), these are local to two movies (A & B) which are loaded into the same timeline - array a_? in movie A and array b_? in movie B. When I issue a Load Variables command targeting a text file are all variables (both arrays) in that timeline forwarded to the text file ? If I want to pass these arrays to two different text files (A.txt and B.txt)how do I accomplish this ? Can these vars be associated with a conditional statement, or other means, to specify which vars are passed, and to where ?

    many questions...

    thanks

    Eey,

    I'm not sure I understand your (entire) threat, but this is what I can tell about variables in flash:

    Localization is done by _levels and by instance_names

    So variables in level0 are like /:var or _level0/:var

    Variables in movieclips which are in level0 are like /movieclipname:var or _level0/movieclipname:var

    Variables in swf's which are for example loaded into some movieclip which is embedded in a second movieclip which is located in level12 are defined as _level12/secondmovieclipname/movieclipname:var

    LTr'Z!
