sorry. accidentally sent the last message before it was through.
well, essentially the issue was this: IN FLASH I DID: geturl(&dog&questions) this passes those two variables to Director which picks it up with this handler on the Flash: on getUrl me, theList global ganimalname the itemdelimiter = "&" ganimalname = theList.item[2]-- gets animal name from Flash go to frame (theList.item[3])-- sends movie to questions frame end O.K. this all works. But my question is: when Director gets the variable from Flash, it converts it to a string. WHAT IF I DO NOT WANT IT TO BE A STRING. (I will be concatenating it with other variables soon). I tried [ganimalname] but then it gave me ["dog"]. !! why do I not need a string? well, for example, one variable from Flash I named gNumberNew in Director. The variable from Flash was random(5). when I passed that through, I got "random(5)". but it's funny, in the message window, I did put NumberNew and I got -- "random(5)" but then put [NumberNew] gave me 3. so it worked that way. But the brackets did not work in the script itself. Well, I'm sure this seems totally unclear. I apologize; I know folks are busy. help if you can, if not I'll figure it out down the road. nj ////// find out how to earn serious income, get a pay raise on your job and travel, reserve hotel rooms, rental cars for a serious discount.
