This is driving me crazy. Flash sprite in channel 1 in frame 1. On a submit button from the flash it calls a movie handler ("login") which goes the frame +1 There's ALWAYS a ghost image of the flash sprite even though it doesn't exist when the jump happens. I've tried updatestage. I've tried th

Frame 1 is not a good place to do such things. Have you tried frame 2? Florian > This is driving me crazy. > > Flash sprite in channel 1 in frame 1. > > On a submit button from the flash it calls a movie handler > ("login") which goes the frame +1 > > There's ALWAYS a ghost image of the flas

I've had issues with frame 1 in the past, I try to leave it empty... can you test it with a a frame of stuff - a shape or something - before and after the flash sprite? If there is something else in the channel that takes up the same space as the sprite, then it could help clear out that channe

Hi, I have a project I'm troubleshooting, which receives a variable "gMovieName" as expected (for example "test.html") from a flash nav bar, then in director sends it into an html framset: newMoviePath = the moviePath&gMovieName GotoNetPage newMoviePath, "main" But it's not working on Mac 0S10.

Thanks Colin, This is true. The original programmer created very clean code. What he is doing is calling an html file that contains a swf. This html then gets placed into a frame called "main" in the browser's frameset. So what he is doing is in fact calling an html page into an html frame, but

I've seen this before, so I can verify on XP in DirMX... I also have had times when Director itself crashes and burns if I have the scriptInstanceList of a sprite all opened up and I stop and restart the movie and go back to the same location. So I stopped doing that... had to delete any refere

What do you think? Would it be more dependable to call the .swf directly with gotoNetMovie? I would then refer to the lingo dictionary to see if a movie can be designated to an HTML frame like gotoNetPage is supposed to. Don't know if that would work. When you try it in authoring, is the html
