I am having an issue with buttons and loadMovie commands. In Firefox on my Mac the buttons work as they should, on my PC they do not. Is there a reason that something like this might happen. Here is an example should you feel compelled to look: http://www.natkendall.com/indexTmp.html ...more >>

easy question
Posted by Mr Helpy mcHelpson at 9/28/2006 7:42:27 PM
So I've used work-arounds with the intent of learning the proper format, but I've not run into the solution on my own. When you load an MC, and that mc references _root, it then references the above mc. (correct me if I'm wrong). When you use a loadVars, onLoad function() { //crap }. yo...more >>

Hello, on my website www.acottageflorist.net I have buttons that I thought worked fine. They do when you single click them, but when you double click them they take you to diffrent parts of my site. My button code for the buttons is pretty straight forward on (release) { gotoAndStop(16)...more >>

Hi, I have recently started using Flash and I think it has great potential, but I think the actionscript audio options can and really should be expanded.
