Variables Flash MX Pro

Hi,
I am new to flash, and I'm creating a web banner that describes the work my company does, and it does a glint effect on text, and the text changes to describe our work, but I want it to circulate through our web address at the end 3 times and then go back to frame 1. I tried some code, but I think I need a global variable. Because I know VB.NET, I know that if you place a variable in the frame that the code is in, it will re-dimension the variable every time that you hit that frame. I tried putting the variable in the 1st frame of the scene, but I dont think that the variable stays in memory. I know there is a way to do this, but I cant figure out how. Do I need to make an external file and create the variable there? HELP ME PLEASE!!!

hmm. I remember doin var myVar=1 into frmae one did make it accessible in all frames. you're gonna force me to reinstall flash aren't you? :lol:
fine, if you REALLY want me to. I'll do it.

nah, you dont have to re-install flash, but i did this:
var i;
i=0;

so ill try
var i=0;

but if you really really REALLY ;) want to install flash again, then go ahead :D ill probably need you in the future cause im trying to learn flash really quick because i hate learning new things, but i like to brag when i know them :lol:

thanks

I'll install it at some point, im a bit tired right now. 5:15am.
Trying to figure out some steganography, that's killed what brain cells were awake.

Anyways. Post if it doesn't work so I will be more motivated to install it and help you out.
