I (((HATE))) Flash Action Script- is there a plugin?
Hi There
I seriously truly hate flash action script stuff!..Why!?!...because to me it has gone from being a simple to use thing from when I first used it in Flash5 to a redonkulously complicated complex thing!
All I ever really needed to do was to make buttons that zip things from one scene to another, or to a frame or to a web site. That is all I did/ do outside of animation stuff. I could and can do that all in 2 minutes flat in Flash5. You choose what you want to have happen and click on the wording that says what you want to have happen...and it works! ( now I draw and animate all my stuff in CS3 though )
Now it seems I have to know 9 different jargon terms and code syntax that would bore rain man!
Even after reading and watching tutorials, even making the buttons in Flash5 making it work and trying to import it to CS3...And opening already working CS3 buttons into my movie...NOTHING WORKS...errors errors errors!
Ive set CS3 to Actions script 1 and all...still wont work!
Why can't there be just a dead simple way for those who don't want to code up a 3D rubix cube in with every square on the cube capable of connecting with multiple databases and setting off commands according to geo coordinates based on the Java ping backs of specific PHP and Ajax files!
( I have no idea what I am talking about there)
Maybe I am just THAT dopey and useless because it is simple????
Is there a Plugin of sorts that exists that can make such simple tasks like make buttons work ?
Thanks for any help...it was more productive to rant here and maybe get some help rather than throw my damn laptop out the window and revel in the joy of it shattering to bits
Cheers

Hah...yep...is there a plugin that can eliminate the need for spelling out every minute step required? Something that you can just select the button...click play on release and then just enter in the frame or scene...and then its DONE!
I've found another youtube video that has helped me make some steps with the rain man coding of it all but its still ridiculous to have to have to enter in so much detail for a dead simple task.
I have this so far..
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//---play_button---\\
play_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rCli ck),
function rClick(event).MouseEvent{void{
gotoAndPlay("nextscene");
play_button.
But it keeps giving this error ...
f1158: Syntax error: missing left brace ({) before the function body.
I want to just drive the damn car and know enough to change the oil and a flat tire....not friken know how to be able to build a carburetor and every other gadget in the engine before I can turn the key!
Thanks
Cheers
