A couple of things to try... I've recently been getting VERY unpredictable results with JS/AS communication and I realised that security settings seem to be a bit weird... so the first thing to try is uploading it to a web server and see if it still happens there.
Secondly, I would delete all the movieclips and just have the button left just to make sure there's nothing to do with hiding the mouse or changing frames. I'm sure it's fine, but you need to eliminate everything that could be a problem. good luck! Seb Lee-Delilsle http://sebleedelisle.com On 14/11/06, Chris Akins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Greetings, all. I've been working on an interactive quiz for a while now, and it's working correctly, except that some parts of it break after making a call to any JavaScript function. I've been trying fruitlessly to debug this for a small eternity now, and I've finally run out of ideas. Could someone try to reproduce this effect? I've been able to reproduce the bug (?) with the following setup: The components are a button symbol and three movie clips. One movie clip has three frames with a static graphic on each frame; each frame has a stop() statement on it, and nothing else. Attached to it at the root level is onClipEvent(enterFrame){ this._x=_root._xmouse; this._y=_root._ymouse; } This clip should be named 'pointer', and reside alone on the top layer. The second movie clip has the following code attached to it: onClipEvent(load){ onRollOver=function(){ Mouse.hide(); _root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(2); } onRollOut=function(){ Mouse.show(); _root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(1); } } The third and final movie clip has the same code attached to it, save that its onRollOver send the pointer clip to frame 3, rather than frame 2. The button has the following code attached to it: on(release){ flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("alert", "alert called"); } After clicking the button and thereby making the JS call, the pointer clip stops following the system mouse movements. I've seen this behavior using both fscommand and ExternalInterface, exporting for Flash Player 6 and 8. The consistency makes me believe either that it's a bug in the way that Flash handles calls to JavaScript, or that it's a really really basic error in my AS.
