Hi there fellas,
I have a linear navigation system with BACK and NEXT buttons.
The problem happens when you want to keep clicking next... next... next... the
button will not work after the first click unless you move the mouse just a

I have a series of buttons, grouped within a parent Movie clip. Each individual
button has a MC of its own, and the button sits inside that second MC. The

Since converting the code to Player 7/AS2 I have lost the button

Hi there. I don't understand what's not working correctly when I try to
dynamically call a movie clip from a function. For example, this doesn't work:
(see first attached code).

I have been using a method (derived from this forum) that worked fine in AS1:
calling code:

I haven't done a massive amount of OO programming, but I know the basics.  I've
found myself using more and more AS in my Flash designs to the point where
they're practically 100% AS (split quite tidily into classes etc).

I have a list of buttons that, when clicked, should play a specific FLV, and
display dynamic text. The FLV Playback component instance name is

HI all. I need to create an effect of one image "swirling" into the next. Can
someone please point me in the right direction to get started. I know this can

Hi guys, back again :confused;
I'm trying to copy a button which is a movie clip.  Only thing is that no
matter which way I do it, I fail.  I try to rename the buttons and then refer

I'm creating a flash for my italian company website, but I have some
difficulty to create a motion tween in which I have  to apply a card rotation
to let see the back of it (i.e. another image), like an opening book. Can you

I've been working with AS 2.0 for a while now, but I can't figure out how to
