vanishing variables

[krosshair]

This is a follow up to a post I had earlier in the week that bill helped me with (so if your still out there!).

The accepting .swf takes the variable with this code...

(frame 2)

if (vars == undefined) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}else{gotoAndStop(vars);}

stop();

-- The problem is I have a movie loader on the key frame before this. After the loader does it thing it ignores the code above and just rolls to the first frame in the time line (i.e. not passing the var and jumping to the frame it should)

load movie code...

(frame 1)

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
bytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal()
percentLoaded = Math.round(100*bytesLoaded/bytesTotal);
_root.displayText = "__"+percentLoaded+"__";
if (bytesLoaded == bytesTotal) {
nextFrame();
}

-- what am I doing wrong? I tried incorporating the code, but my actionscripting skills are pretty minimal.

Thanks!

this should fix it.

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
bytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal()
percentLoaded = Math.round(100*bytesLoaded/bytesTotal);
_root.displayText = "__"+percentLoaded+"__";
if (bytesLoaded == bytesTotal) {
gotoandStop(vars);
}

Thanks Bill - I did try that amongst a few other combo's and it does not work for me - it still rolls to the first frame in the timeline. Not jumping to the label further down the timeline.

try this

_root.gotoandstop(vars);

also stick a dynamic textbox on the page with variable name vars and see what goes in there.

No dice Bill - I have posted the files here if you would like to take a gander.

I tried putting in the var dynamic text field as well.
