Hi All,

Newbie here, trying to learn action scripting. I would like to thank all of the people here for all of the great exaples, I have learned a lot from them, however, I don't quite understand why some things work and others don't,
some guidence would be greatly appreciated. Also, any debug hints, tips, or tricks would be great.


First question is about sound. I tried many different combinations of code trying to get sound (playing mp3's) to work to no avail.( this was pre-koolMoves 6 - before the media player was added) Finally I found the
mp3 player example at Kool Exchange that used the variable name Sound
instead of mySound ( eg. Sound = new Sound(); instead of mySound = new Sound(); ) which when used, worked. Also, Sound lit up Blue in the AS editor, like the proerties and methods do, can someone explain why I had to use the varable name Sound ? and what's the significance of the blue text ?

second question is about the combobox, I found the example \Program Files\KoolMoves\Examples\Components\Flash 8\Examples\ComboBox\KC8_Example_ComboBox which runs fine in the example but doesn't work when I try to use this in another project. I even tried duplicating all of the code in another project and it still won't work. To me, it looks like the is an empty movie clip, and a dynamic text box, no frame based actions, only actions in the empty movie clip, which has (construct) and (load) actions. Am I missing something here ? Could it be that I didn't make the empty movie clip correctly ?
