[cyber reaper]

i made a parante movie with a button that shows the child movie in it , for some odd reson all i see after i export it is just the BG colour (i made the rest dissaper) , the child movie have properties : export inside SWF , why dont it show the child movie ?

[cyber reaper]

well , found out that one , for some lame reason.. i must use functions to do that thing , i hate those minor problems... anyway , can anyone tell me how i use the CALL function inside a script ?

It depends where the function resides. If it's in the same script you just use it's name, if it's in the start script(What I reccomend) add .root to the name..

Example

In start script I have function that adds two values together.

function myAdd(x,y){
result=x+y
return(result)
}


then from anywhere in the movie I call it like this

mytotal=root.myAdd(4,4);

and mytotal will be 8
