Variable Problems w/ MC's.

[WhiteTiger]

I'm using the tell target command (Yes, obselete soon)...to play certian parts of an MC which I have made...it is just a test for when I do the work I'm doing...

I currently have 4 buttons, and 1 MC (MC TESTS)
the MC has an animation 14 frames long w/ a keyframe in front of it w/ a stop, and with all the information frames in the middle with stops, and an animation at the end with a stop keyframe after that.

Currently, on the page load, I have (WHAT I THINK) the page set the property "Opening = False;" with no other code.

In one of the buttons (None others becaues it's not working yet) I have this code...

on (release) {
Opening = 1
if (Opening == False);
tellTarget ("_root.MC TEST&quot {
gotoAndPlay (2);
Section = 1;
}
if (Opening == True);
tellTarget ("_root.MC TEST&quot {
gotoAndStop (15);
}
}

But with that code, when I push the button, it goes to frame 15, (My first info page), without playing the animation before it...and when I put Opening = False RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT STUFF, it still goes DIRECTLY to frame 15...am I setting the Opening variable wrong, or what?...is there a way to have a global variable that can be accessed by everything?

Oops, the Opening = 1 isn't supposed to be there...I had ended up trying to set it to one hoping it would give me an error, but it didn't...=(

Nevermind!...I got it.
What I was doing, was not setting a global variable, and also placing some things incorrectly....thanx anyways, I know if I would've waited, you guys would've helped.
