passing parameters

Question

Hi all, I'm brand new here.

I'm working on something where I need to define a function on
the main timeline and call it through a "enter" button on a remote
that changes a channel on a tv. The first 3 number keys on the
remote define variables to pass as parameters through the enter key
to the function, but I can't get it to work right. My experimental
attempts are only on the "3" and "enter" buttons on the remote and
on the function in the main timeline. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

you have numerous problems but most can be corrected by understanding paths in flash:

all your buttons are movieclip buttons. and because you're attaching code directly to your buttons, your variables are relative to those movieclip button timelines.

so, for example, when you click your one button, you define _root.remote.num1.process = one.

so, in this example, your first problem is process is undefined when you press your enter button. your second problem is one is undefined.
