Hey Ripz,

What you're seeing is your level 1 of the _root movie is still occupied. Flash has a zillion levels. You can dynamically load objects to each level. However once you add something to...

Hello Lexicon,

I apologize for the confusion, you are completely correct mc.onEnterFrame does it. I posted the earlier message before I actually tried adapting your example to the scripts I have...

Hello Lexicon,

Thanks for the quick reply. Ah I see clearly I can use an instance name and any of these on event handlers to call the code inside a movie clip.

Your suggestion set me on the right path.

In Flash 6 I found I had to declare the
off stage textfield first before I could
make it work.

text1.html = true;...

But in the near future I may have to also accommodate Portuguese
Spanish, and Czech.
