Re: FLASH: Text Field action

[Cheri Harder]

First off....

I don't think that FS Commands is what you are looking for, at all.  Check

out the help sections and tutorials and such and you will see that you can

do the types of things you are asking about without any reference to FS

Commands at all.  FSCommand is a mechanism that allows two-way communication

between Flash and the scripting environment - so that you can talk from one

Flash movie to another, or the Standalone Flash Player, etc.  Within a

single Flash movie you should not have any need to use FSCommands.  I've

been using Flash for probably a year now, and have never used an FSCommand.


Secondly...

You don't ever put actions in the down frame of a button.  You put your

button on the stage where you want it (that graphic is now called an

"instance" of the button) and you click on that instance to bring up its

properties.  One of the property tabs for buttons is an "actions" tab.  THAT

is where you put your action.  Click on the "Plus" sign at top left and look

down the list of actions and see "Set variable" and click on that.  The

script will automatically be formatted as


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "" = ""

End On


Now fill in the boxes on the right for the variable name and the variable

string you want.
