RE:To Christina: FLASH: A Newbie: On Curtis Hillman book "Flash Web Design"

[Greg Landry]

Christina,


If you go to my server at home at http://www.libmansworld.com/flash/ you can

download the mytest.fla and the movie which is zipped up.


I removed some of the scripting from the button in scene 1 in order to

simplify my problem. If you go to frame one on the button, highlight that

frame, and select "modify/instance" and then choose "actions" you'll see the

script I put in. I just need to see why the mouseover does not bring up

daveclip1. I believe the scripting is correct and that I have named all the

elements appropriately. I believe my problem has something to do with the

construction of the button but I'm not sure. I left out the text on the

button. I really didn't care about that part.


I really didn't find the concepts that difficult to understand, I thought,

given my background in programming and a teacher of mathematics. I guess my

arrogance got the best of me.


Sincerely, Greg
