a MIAW has a field. the value of that field changes with a slider. I want to be able to get that value and use it with my main movie.
Good, that's a workable statement.
The most efficient way would probably be to use a 'tell the stage' call when the user let go of the slider (mouseUp). Updating constantly as the slider moves can work, but it's terribly inefficient and will really make your program crawl while it's happening. Timing-critical events will suffer.
Simplest scenario is to have a handler like this in a movie script in your main (stage) movie:
on getValue me value -- do whatever, such as put value end
... and in the slider, have a call like this, on mouseUp or whatever:
value = { the value in the field }
tell the stage
getValue( value )
end tell
