Adding action to button stops other action.

[skalie]

Flash MX.....

I have two frames, there resides on the stage a button with the instance name "blabla".

First frame actionscript is.....

blabla._y = blabla._y + 1;

Second frame actionscript is........

gotoAndPlay(1);

The button slides down the screen when published, that is the desired effect.

Problem..... as soon as I add any actionscript to the button, even just two comment slashes "//", the movement stops.

I have a feeling that there is some really basic concept that is flying over my head at the moment.

I havent been able to duplcate the effect. Maybe if you could post an example?

Certainly, I was hoping this thread wouldn't sink without trace.

I do have a feeling although that it may have something to do with the fact that I am working on a Macintosh.

The only difference in version 2 is that I have added two comment slashes "//" to the actions for the button that scrolls in the first example.

Thanks (again) gSOLO_01 for taking the time to sort that one for me.

It was confusing the living daylights out of me, back to the project......................
