Re: FLASH: Buttons are not working

[Russ Unger]

I'm guessing it's the Mac thing, again.  I have had the same problem,

repeatedly, and I apologize to you all for not mentioning it back in January

when I first encountered this.  


I've only had the problem when developing on the Mac platform; when I copy

the .fla over the network to my PCs, voila...no problems, none at all.


I usually do my mac work on a G3/266 or better with no less than 96 megs of

RAM and as much allocated to Flash as possible, and I've yet to alleviate

such a problem.


I hope there's a solution, but I've yet to see one in the past few months.


Good luck,


Russ
