hey, i'm having trouble with this code. i really dont know why it wont work.
the code works fine on it's own, just running when the timeline comes across
it, but if i define it as a function and then try to call it, even from within
that same frame, it causes a 'A Script Is Causing Flash To Run Slowly, Would
You Like To Abort It?' kinda message to pop up. i even tried replacing all the
'this's with _root.movieClipName so that it would be hard coded.. but it still
does the same thing. what part of my code does not allow it to run in a
function?
thanks a lot. also, if you see any inefficient/outdated methods, please
correct me. thanks.
