On this site. Make a search on what you are looking for. If you don't find anything, just make a new thread.

Hello,

I am looking for a command list for the Flash MX action script because I know nothing about it. So I am looking for some downloadable file that I could read anytime.

Hi,

I went to the local library and got some books on the subject. Let me ask this question. Flash MX action script has now replaced the Javascript that was used in the older versions of 3DFA?

Hello,

OK I am awake now.

I found all the action script stuff in the program now. One problem thou, I am not getting any action out of action script because I don't know the first thing about it. I can't even get a piece of clip art from the library to rotate 360 deg.

So what am I doing wrong. I make the object an element and then change the rotate property and increment it from 0 to 360 and nothing happens. Can anyone show me this simple task?

any help?

Make sure the clipart element has its properties enabled - "element has properties." If you want to set velocity or acceleration (including angular velocity) make sure that property is enabled as well.

Set a variable to contain the element:

clipart=element ("clipart");
clipart.angular_velocity=50;

Hello,

Thank you.

I had everything but the angular_velocity set. :D

It may take a while but I will get it down. :)
