Last I knew, and this was Flash 5 mind you, mc's had to each have their own layer else problems occurred.

Haven't flashed since 5, saw MX come out, just bought new MX because I couldn't find any MX 2003s left out there and my head is swimming trying to make simple buttons that now seem to require a...

try using a frame label vs. frame number

You could make a separate movie that communicates with the finished one for updating, as long as everything is a variable, then the other movie could change them if I understand the new features in...

That was in 5. Now there is a new security function you can use so that the movie will only accept connections from YOUR other movie. Read around this forum, I asked this before.

it's an top secret rapid prototyping application that will save the world one day...oops;)

MX allows movie communication across domains now. Although I'm not sure you could do it with a text file across domains but you could do it with another swf that just has a text field in it that...

Last I knew it would do this if every field wasn't filled out including organization. The only other reason I've seen this is if I type my key in incorrectly.

do a search for cache problems here. It was a problem in 5 and probably still is in MX since it's the browser controlling the caching, but you can add a math.random to the end of anything that loads...

Throw this on the mc:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.mcname._currentframe==30) {
loadMovieNum ("whatever.swf", 0);
}
}

Can u post your code?

I'm assuming your running generator 2 also then?

how bout {buttontext} or {button_text} or {"buttontext"}

Just an idea

After seeing the differences in the Flash MX dropdown component vs the Flash 5 SmartClip version, I decided to convert the Flash 5 to have the same ease of use as the MX version.

The parameters...

How about making it a component that you could use to update different text fields throughout your movie. So you'd have this app as it is, then you'd have a spot where you could enter in the name of...

I don't know if I'm on with this idea or just loony. Isn't that the wrong syntax for MX? Isn't supposed to be something like this code of Subway's?

function makeItalic(){
if...

Prolly silly question but did u remember to give the animation mc the animation instance name?

You can do this in MX using the sharedObjects. It will allow you to set a "cookie" with info in it.

Yes, there is a new security object I believe that controls this. If you do a search on were-here.com for the same title of this thread you should find the answer as I asked the same question....

I believe this is done with the new localConnection code in MX. This allows movies to talk to each other with no Java at all. It's even possible to communicate from one movie to another ACROSS...

You could make a separate movie for the teachers that would communicate with the other movies and could keep totals.

I haven't seen problems playing any mpegs in media player yet, unless they are not full files, but even then it sometimes works. AVI files really are the problem for me, half to 3/4 of the ones I try...

I'm on a pc. Have you tried uninstalling MX, then reinstalling?

hmm, this works ok for me. Sorry I have no idea.
