i see what you're saying - you didn't reference the right variable. as it is, you created two variables (since you've figured this out already, this is mainly for others reading this thread). you basically had:

_level0.selection

and

_level0.movieclip1.selection

so when you were trying to read the variables, it was reading the first one, which was set once in frame one of the movie, and then never touched again...d-oh! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

glad to hear you got it working.
