Hi again!

I was just trying to access variables across movieclips:
- Movie A contains an empty Movieclip and loads Movie B into the empty movieclip. (no levels used) So now movie A contains movie B.
- I use an extra timeline in movie A for variables (does this make sense? see below). There I want to set the variable 'serie' to "srpo1001".
- As soon as the movie B starts playing it wants to know what 'serie' in movie A is set to, because it needs this information to access the proper database via PHP & mySQL.
I tried referencing by _parent.serie or _parent._parent.serie (how many _parents do I really need?), but tracing still shows serie as 'undefined'

How do I properly access variables in other movies? Do you have any tips for using variables at all? When gets a variable lost (by entering the next keyframe)? Maybe you know a useful tutorial? I found only courses for $900 and up

thanks a lot
