No, thats not it. The preload graphic existed in frame one only and it isn't a looping problem.

Absolutely brlliant. Thats solved a nasty little problem. Thanks a lot for doing that.

However there is one problem. Here is the script for a 3 frame movie that uses the method you showed me to...

I have just learned this IfFrameLoaded command and had it working a treat on my sites first incaarnation. But since I editied my pages and republished over the top of the old one, my preloader...

On some html pages I have seen that even though you can go to various different pages on the site, the address in the address bar of the browser remains the same. Can I achieve this in flash?

Thanks MGB,. It worked! In my newbieness, I han't realised you could make changes to buttons OUTSIDE of the button graphic itself and into the surrounding area. This info was just what I needed to...

Nothing I have tried has worked............Anyone?

I couldnt find what I was looking for at either of these links. Any chance smeone could publish the line(s) of actionscript I need to accompany my geturl action to open a url in a new window?

When people leave my site from a link on my page I want them to have the url open in a new window. What is a newbie to do :)?

If I understand you correctly you are assigning the action in the wrong place.

If you want a particular instance of a button to do a particular action, then you click on the button itself and...

Many thanks, Kirill. Just the info I needed.

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a worthwhile book for the absolute actionscript (or any programming) begginer (version 5)

Thanks Kirill

I can't actually find a mailto command in actions. Which section do I need to look under (ie basic actions etc)?

I have a couple of questions to ask of the community out there.

What is the best book for the COMPLETE actionscript novice to become familiar with the language for flash 5?

I have no previous...
