Branching code in Flash 8

whichPlayer = 0;
myVideo.load("start.flv");

// this listener loads each video once the last one is ready
myListener = new Object();

	}
}

left.onRollOver = function() { whichPlayer = 1; }
center.onRollOver = function() { whichPlayer = 2; }
right.onRollOver = function() { whichPlayer = 3; }
