FW: FLASH:Serious dragging malfunction

[Aaron Schurman]

Let's try this again...can anyone please help me on this...before...the only

help I got was to put in quotes where they were missing...and in the

scripting in the file I did, I just forgot them here.  And yes, I am sure

this is written out pathetically, because I am a professional graphic

designer and multimedia artist, not computer programmer.  I am still fairly

stupid in this area, that's why I am asking all of you.  Please help if you

can...thanks a ton!! :)
