I have 3 buttons and need to pass a variable to a movie clip. ie... if button 1 is pressed play movieClip "A" and that will play a specified frame on movieClip "B". I may have made this sound more complex than it is.
Does anyone know and tutorials on this or can the source be emailed or posted.Many Thanks in advance!!

use global variables here, it'll be much easier.
assuming the variable you want to pass is called which_button_pushed...
on the first frame in your timeline, write:
_global.which_button_pushed;
now whenever you reference whcih_button_pushed (you don't need the '_global.' part) the program will know what you're talking about. so if you're putting code on the buttons, one of 'em might look somethin like this:
on(release)
{
which_button_pushed = 1;
}and then in your movie clip...
switch(which_button_pushed)
{
case 1:
gotoAndPlay("frame_1");
break;case 2:
gotoAndPlay("frame_2");
break;case 3:
gotoAndPlay("frame_3");
break;
}
