    If the object is in a known movieclip or level, you can target it with the square-bracket syntax. If the value of HOLDER is "Obj1", then

    _level0[HOLDER]._x += 10;

    is equivalent to

    Did anyone figure this one out? I'm having this problem, too.

    I'm having the same problem in Flash 8. The classes have no references to each other. The code in the .fla is just:

    import Piano.as
    import Skateboard.as

    and I get:

  7. P.S.

    P.S. I think Flash MX 2004 Pro comes with some kind of pre-built FocusManager class. That might be another route to try.

    No, setFocus just takes the focus away from the button when it gives focus to the text field. For your application, you need to do explicitly what we usually rely on onRollOver and other events...

    The same approach should work. Do not use rollOver since that will be undone when focus is set elsewhere. Instead, I think onMouseMove is really what you need.

    Use onMouseMove code to send the...

    No, duplicateMovieClip always creates clips whose parent is _root. Use attachMovie instead.

    Use movie clips instead of buttons, and manually script the rollover action. Something along these lines is what I'd try first:

    There are at least two general approaches to speeding up the hitTest.

    Method 1. Put all bullets in one movie clip, and have each alien hitTest against that. This works fine as long as you don't...
