Currently i stuck with a project i'm working on, as some variables are inside of a movie clip, and i can't seem to access them from the main timeline.
Anyone know how?

those variables are use for that mc/timeline only...
you can acces them by using
_root.yourmc.varname
or, make you var's global, so you can use them on EVERY clip...
like:
_global.varname = "hello";
should help

no luck with that.
All i'm trying to do is display a score on the main timeline in a dynamic text box.
The variable is called score and is inside a movie called "Quiz1" with the instance "quiz"

allright, when you calculated the score, store it in a global variable... like:
_global.score = score;
then, on the main timeline, use this code to apply it to the textbox
textbox.text = _global.score;
// or
textbox = _global.score;

Well, i'm completely stuck here and i can't get it to work, so could someone do it for me?
The quiz with the variable "score" inside is on frame 4 and i'm attempting to get the score to display in the dynamic textbox next to conversation in frame 6.
thanks
