Re: FLASH: using the call action

[Rachel Bachman]

I think calling rocks.


I put all the scripts I want to use in multiple

movie clips in the main timeline. That way

they are accessible by anyone very simply.


All you have to do is use a slash colon (/:)

when calling the frame. What the /: tells "says"

is "go up to the main timeline!"


For example, you are in a movie clip that is in

a movie clip. On the main timeline you have an

actionscript in a frame labeled addScore


in your call action you would put

/:addScore


So far I haven't encountered any pathing issues but

i have not tested it extensively with levels.
