NO, but programmers will have options that you won't. In most cases

maybe not for long. Note, many may use ActionScripts when standard Movie

Clip techniques would be better, just like some use JavaScript instead

of Movie Clips.

FC and the FlashBible will be providing a lot of Plug and Play routines

which few Flash authors would have the technical knowhow to create, but

they all will be easy enough for any Flasher, who knows the basics of

Flash 3 and movie clips.


Take a look at the String Plug and Play and in a couple of days (or so),

I'll have the Time Delay (pause) Plug and Play finished.  


These are fairly simple for average programmers, but they are customized

for Flash and the Plug and Play Collection.


The time delay routine will require you to include two lines of codes,

one to set the time delay in seconds and the other to call the time

delay. 

      

Set Variable: "/:Delay" = 5

Call ("/Count:Up")
