please Read...help me...

I am creating a simple button that controls a movie clip. The movie clip is masked underneath the button...the movie clip slides out from underneath the button and mask upon mouseclick. My problem is:

I am using a variable to control the playhead in the movie...example:
if movie=0....play slideout
if movie=1...play slidein...

however, I can not get flash to choose the right variable....I think I am initalizing the movie variable incorrectly...soooo...where do I initialize the movie variable?

thanx in advance....

initialize your variables on main timeline and also change it on it only ...

like following:

Init.

_root.movie_status = 0;

so 1st time you hav to play movie slideout ...

then whenever your state changes ... change the value by ..

_root.movie_status = 1;

so next time you button will play slide in ...

hope this is enough ...
