calling functions ...

[deLungGal]

Hi everyone!! I've got a pretty simple question over here which I hope that somebody can help me by clearing this doubt in my brain!!

How does function calling works in flash?? I've been trying to create one ... and when I tried to call that particular function ... it fails badly. (

Next thing is ... can we call the functions being stored in another .swf file ... meaning from movie01.swf, I wanted to call another function in movie02.swf ... is this possible??

Somebody help me!!

I dont quite understand the first question so please post again with a little more detail.

the second answer is to use the tell target command like this:

On (Press)
Begin Tell Target ("_level1")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
End On

You can call movie clips, labels etc through this method. this is calling from the main timeline of the mainmovie or level0

If you were to call from a movie clip in level0 or another movie you would make the call like this:

On (Press)
Begin Tell Target ("/_level1")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
End On


The / calls to the root level and then up.

What is the script you are using?

I'm not too sure if you mean Flash's functions (eg int(variable) or if you are trying to "call" a frame and using it as your own function.
