I'm tearing out my hair. Ohh noo! Here's the story. I'm creating a small shockwave movie. In authoring works fine. When playing it through shockwave it snaps a script error every now and then. I finally managed to have the movie fail continuously by introducing an intentional error to a f

Hi, I want to keep the user busy while a shockwave movie is loading. I figured I'll use the idleLoad while playing a small movie to check if the desired members have arrived. When the cast members are loaded I will start the main feature. I haven't been able to figure out from the documentati

Re: request about website

I would do it in the following way. The foreground, the static part of the image, uses a mask ink and you set the mask in such a way that one can see throug the center of the foreground; this means that there will be a hole in the center of the foreground art. Place the sprite with the backgr

Hello again, I have a question regarding timeout objects. Let's assume we have a behavior that creates a timeout object. Let's further assume that the behavior will be attached to two different sprites. When the timeout handler is executed how do I know to which sprite it corresponds? Thanks

Re: Scrolling Timeline Image

The sprite behavior should move the image acording to the value of a property in it. Whe the property is set to true the prite moves, when it is false the sprite stops. something like if pMoveImage then sprite(54).locH=sprit(54).locH+10 end if The button shout alter the value of that prope

Life span of properties

It's me again. What happens to the properties of a behavior attached to a sprite when the playback head of the movie moves to a frame that is beyond the length of the sprite? Now folks let me restate my question. Suppose we have a sprite that takes up frames 1 through 5. The frame has a beha
