The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Variable values won't pass between slides

Asked by alexhogan in Adobe Flash

Tags: pass, variable, another, from, slide

I have to say that Flash is making very little sense to me right now.., probably because I haven't tried writing applicatoins in it until now.

Here is what I'm trying to do...
This is an instrucitonal application that contains 5 different backgrounds depending on the individuals work location. It starts with a background that is generic to everyone. The different backgrounds are at the root slide (application).
As the user progresses through the instruction the screen displays text and movies. The text is pulled from a series of html files and the movies are Captivate files.
I ma trying to use a single slide for a single dynamic text area and movie clip, and another slide for the navigation in which there are a series of navigation configurations.

Having said that here is my problem.
I have an app file that has 3 forms;
application - (this contains several backgrounds identified by labels in an action layer)
Title&Content - (this contains 1 movie clip and 1 dynamic text area that pulls in text and movies identified in arrays)
NavControl - (this contains a series of button configurations navigating through the app displaying the content)

My problem is that when I click on one of the buttons in the NavControls form I have this code:
i = 7;
_root.application.gotoAndStop("Back2");
_root.application.Title&Content.holder.loadVariables(fileToLoad[i]);

When I run a trace I get the variable set, I get the navigation to the appropriate frame where label "Back2" is and I get the correct file from the array.

However the mc holder doesn't repopulate with the new file.

A little help please...

Also,

Is there a better or easier way to do this?
