trace variable in movie ?

[onressy]

Hi i have a MC (mc1) on the main stage and embeded in that MC is another movie clip

mc1 contains 2 frames. First frame has this:

var dddd = "aaaa";
//trace(dddd);

Second frame contains a movie clip called 'redd' an on its first frame i have (which isn't working?):

stop();
trace(dddd);
if (dddd=="aaaa") {
play();
}

I've tried things to no avail like:
trace(mc1.dddd);

Any suggestions? THanks
