Thanks for the tut mike. I’ve been working with PS for a while now and wanted to move on to flash and give it a try. I’ve been reading alot lately in hopes to get my website flash enabled or at least have some nifty flash buttons on it.

Hi Miniman,

The problem you are having here is that you need to take what you have on Scene 1 in your sample file and place it in it’s own movie clip. Then, the ActionScript you have in frame 1 of your actions layer of your sample file needs to be attached to the mc you created (click on the mc, then open the actions panel and add the script, do not attach AS to a keyframe).

I emailed you the file with the corrections. If you open the symbol “smiley” you should see what I did. Also, to make the smiley smaller, after you place the symbol to the stage, you can simply change the height and width in the Transform pallette.

Hope this helps you out, but if you are still having problems, let me know.

Also, you can always find the source files at the end of my tutorials to help you along with the tutorials.

Thanks for reading,
Mike

Hi Miniman,

Sorry you’re having trouble with this tutorial. Not sure what the problem is. Are you getting any kind of errors in the output window? (the output window should automatically come up when you test the movie from Flash if there are errors).

My first thought is you may be having the problems with quotes vs. smartquotes that some others were having. Check the “Update” paragraph under the first block of code above. Otherwise, you can try sending me your .fla file to contact@spitshine-design.com and I can try troubleshooting it for you.
