FLASH: Call actions and order of execution

[Dave Hollinden]

I have a number of Action Scripts that I'm using as subroutines in a current

project.  Flash Help says "After the specified frame's actions run, control

returns to the action that issued the Call statement."  Does that mean that

Flash waits until all the actions at the target of the Call are executed

before control returns?  What happens when I issue a number of Call actions

one after another in the same Action script?


For example, I have a frame with the following actions:


Call ("stop playback")

Call ("disable hotspots")

Call ("play recorded data")


Does "stop playback" finish executing before "disable hotspots" can start,

or do they all start executing at the same time?

I also need a very accurate timer for coordinating sound files in a current

project.  What I'm doing is using a frame based timer to time the bulk of a

wait period, maybe all but the last half second, and then using a Loop based

timer to accurately time the remaining bit of the wait period.  That way the

Loop based timer only has to wait for a short period of time, and won't

exceed the 200,000 action limit.

Hi all,


I need to make a timer in flash that will play a frame after 1 second. I 

have tried the timer at http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/ but I can 

still notice a slight delay when using sounds. I think this is because Flash


isn't very accurate when looping between frames. And I need for it to play 

very accurately once every second. The only way I can think of is to use the


Loop action. However I keep running into problems where I get errors saying 

that flash exceeded 200,000 actions. Has anyone had any success in getting 

flash to play at a consistent speed?
