Re: FLASH: FAQ's document?

[Matt Wobensmith]

Many questions that get asked over and over again on this list are easily

answered by TechNotes on Macromedia's site. In fact:


>"How do I loop

>>something x times"


is answered by


How can I loop over some frames a given number of times?

ID: 14023

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/frame_loops.htm


and


>"how do I submit variables to ..."


is most likely addressed by


How to create and submit a form in Flash 4

ID: 13919 

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/f4_form.htm



Rather than act as a 411 operator - the best way to find these (and more) is

on the Flash Support Center page:


http:/www.macromedia.com/support/flash


This is the springboard to the entire TechNote library. Enter keywords in

the search field. It's that easy.


Many important articles are here; if it's in there, it's more or less

considered common knowledge. Always look there first before anywhere else.
