Targeting variables in movie clip

[Kijori]

The scenario:

Main timeline has 2 Movie Clips; mcA and mcB. In mcA, I've created variable x and in mcB, variable x in their respective timelines.

In each Movie Clip, I've also created a function each, function A and function B. Now, how do I address the variable x in mcA for function A?

The _root thingy is for variables in the root/main timeline right? And this won't work for my problem correct?

Pass the variable into the function when you call it.

functionName(x);

or refer to it within the function (assuming the function and the x variable are on the same timeline)

this._parent.x;

Or address it from the _root.

_root.clipName.x

Also you could used _global variables.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
