Hi Allice.D,

You can use the following code to get your first frame variable:-

var mc:MovieClip = this.parent as MovieClip;
trace(mc.geklikt)

by doing this on main time line inside movieclip you can access main time variable.

hey man, thx for the reply

but when i do

var mc:MovieClip = this.parent as MovieClip;
trace(mc.geklikt)
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop(geklikt);

it doesnt work

and when i do

var mc:MovieClip = this.parent as MovieClip;
trace(mc.geklikt)
var geklikt:String = "About";
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop(geklikt);

it works

i used the same line to specify geklikt in the mc as on the main timeline

why isnt it passing the var?

any other way of showing me whats inside a var?

like in html and php i would use echo(geklikt)

thx again
