Hi Victor,

I’d be happy to help you out, but not really sure what you’re trying to do, and what’s not working. If you can provide a better explanation of the problem, or send me the .fla (contact@spitshine-design.com), I’ll try to help you through it.

Hey Mike,
I ran across your site trying to figue out why my play button wouldnt reference a nested mc.
This tutorial caught my interest and I went thru it step by step. It didn’t work. Finally, after exhausting everything except deleting my movie clip of the mc_scope and replacing it with yours it worked. I suspect that this is the same problem I was having before I found your site. Do you have any idea what i may be doing wrong drawing my artwork then converting to movie clips? I’ve been trying to figure this crap out for a week now. I think I am doing everything correct so this is not much fun when all I want to do is see something move using action script.

Thanks,
Victor

Hi Noturox,

Sorry you’re having trouble here… Not sue what is happening, but to note, if you are on scene 1 already, doubleclicking on the “scene 1″, you won’t really see anything change. That’s the only thing I can say that you are seeing.

To select Scene 1 (if you are in a different scene or in a symbol edit mode), you can either use the “breadcrumb” trail under the timeline (you will only see “scene 1″ listed if you are on “scene 1″) or you can choose “Window > Scenes”, which will open the “Scenes Pallette” and you can click Scene 1 from there.

Hope this helps, and thanks for reading!

Hi Alev,

Ask all the questions you want, I don’t mind. I can’t promise I’ll always have an answer, but I’ll try.

Not sure what you’re asking with this one. You can add/move/control movie clips with buttons within a single Flash movie, but I don’t believe you can control other Flash movies.

For instance, if you have a flash component at the top of a Web page, and then a block of HTML text in the center of the page, and then a Flash component at the bottom of the page, you can’t control the bottom Flash movie using buttons from the top flash movie. Is that what you are asking?

Let me know if that answers your question.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for this tutorial. This one helped me move on with my project as well.
however, i want to ask you one last question. Is it possible to move one flash movie to another by clicking on buttons? where could i get the help from?

Promise I wont bother you again.:oops: its just that your tutorials are the most helpful compare to the others.

many thanks

Alev
