FLASH: Why doesn't this work?

[Mountain, Mike J]

Right, I'm trying to get to grips with actionscript and I knocked up a

simple bit of code which finds the X & Y values of a movie clip called plane

- which is set to drag on the centre of the mouse


Then I set up two text boxes to display the coordinates "xval" and "yval"


fine again.


Then I decided to play....and came up with the followin - inserting another

movie clip on the stage - instance name box.


the rotation property works, but no matter what values (or properties I plug

in to the lin in bold it has no effect.


Why?


help?


Set Variable: "xval" = GetProperty("/Plane",_x)

Set Variable: "yval" = GetProperty ("/Plane",_y)

Set Variable: "/:xdisplay" = xval

Set Variable: "/:ydisplay" = yval

Set Property ("/box", Rotation) = xval - yval

Set Property ("/box", X Scale) = "yval - xval"


Cheers


Mike
