Hmm..I feared the plus sign. However, thank you for your help, at least now I know how to do it.
:)

Hello. I was looking in my F5 help file and the actionscript reference manual, but those are as much help as a box of rocks sometimes. I wan't to be able to load "myNefariousPlans.txt" into a dynamic...

That's quite a tall order. Actually, that's a HUGE order. I suggest spending a lot of money and time at borders, or a lot of money on web design company. I'm not trying to discourage, but you are...

Hello. I'm using several buttons that target little movies to slide out into view. When you roll off, they are supposed to slide back. They do, but only if you use nice slow movements..otherwise the...

I have IE 5.5 and I get no errors. I can see your stuff just fine.

Perhaps you should specify in your javascript tag a version, such as 1.3 or whatever. Sometimes web languages act the funniest...

No problem...I know the specifics aren't really there...if you need additional help just drop an email.

Well, the simplest way in Flash4 is like this.

Create your text field, plug all your text in it.

Make a mask for the area you want viewed. Mask the field.

Make a tween for the text(as many...

Considering that you are using Flash5, I would say to use an onClipEvent, and stuff everything into that sub movie. Then you can register the keypress without worrying about any extra buttons...

Hmmm...Why can't you use an onmouse event with an invisible button? Could you be more specific, please?

You'll see this again and again on the posts, but here it is: If you have 45$ to spare,or at least want to take a trip to borders and read up on it try Flash4 Magic by J.Scott Hamlin and David...

Have you tried the eval function? Maybe that will work...as in,

"current" = eval("text" &number)

I'm not positive that will work, but give it a try. I'm sorry my last post wasn't on the money.

You could set a variable "text" to text1...plus to concatenate text and number...that should be an expression.

Set Variable: "current" ="text"&number

That seems to be a fix...I hope it is.

I'm not sure why, but the manual for Flash5 and the help index(which are really one in the same), is chocked full o' little mistakes. I wouldn't rely on it. For instance, if you look at the custom...

Are you using Flash4 or 5?

Flash 4, you need to write

on(press)
Begin Tell Target("/")
Go to and Play("yourSceneorFrameorWhatever")
End on

This takes you to the main timeline ===> ("/")

Thanks! Cheers! :D

Is it just me or is biotech designs reminiscent from the computer scene in "The Jackal"?. Well, whatever. Nice site. Also, that's a kind of mono-crafty thing, that speeding menu system. Point made, I...

Yes, I agree with Shaggy. As human beings, we learn by doing. I understand getting upset at blatant ripoffs..copying someones actionscript code and pasting it in your work...Someone truly un-original...

Is there anyway you can optimize your sound any further? sound gobbles up quite a bit of memory.

One way to do it would be to set a variable and a label with the same name in each of those frames..
Remember to label the frame as well.
Frame3:
Set Variable "cameFrom" = Frame3Label
Frame7: ...

I love you guys! :) Sorry, just excited to see it work. I've been working in expert mode, so the change was easy. Mind if I ask how you would achieve that syntax in normal mode? I don't want to ask...

Ok, I've definitely narrowed it down to the movie clip...I've added more shapes and MC's(without any tweening or AS), and they appear...It's something in that MC, though nothing else looks wrong.
...

Well, no... the main timeline consists of only 1 frame(3layers)..the button and its actions span the entire movie. I've checked and rechecked..everything looks right according to this (somewhat...

Usually you have to use a program like winzip or something to unzip it, extract it to a directory of your choice and then open it as you would an .fla with flash. That's it!

Alright, I'm pretty decent with AS in F4. Alas, I'm trying to start simple with F5, but I'm getting wierdness.

I've 3 layers with 1 frame each.

Layer 1 a button with the script:

on(press) {...

Awesome.Thanks. I'm glad to see that Tell target is being phased out from the sound of the manual...thanks!
