Are you loading a SWF or using attachMovie? If you are using attachMovie, the value isn't ready until a frame later. Use onEnterFrame or some other mechanism to cause a delay to read the value.
If you are loading the movie, make sure to use the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader so that the code within the first frame of the movie has enough time to run, setting up the value. If you are loading it is it coming from a domain other than that of the main SWF? Let me know, the questions branch out if this is the case.

Hi Danny... Thanks for responding. The value is just a constant true, on the timeline of _root.collective.table1.p5. If I trace(root.collective.table1.p5), I get the clip's path in the output window, no problem. But if I go and trace a variable within that mc, I get nothing. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
