Re: FLASH: having trouble creating movie clips into instances

Hi Cathlynn,

> These 6 movie clips appear as instances on the stage (little hollow dots).

So that means the first frame of each is invisible.


> The actual movie will play with the current code in place.

OK


> The problem is that we have 6 new movie clips that I need to associate with

> those buttons.

What do you mean by that?

Do you want the buttons to play them instead of the originals?

    Then change or delete the original MCs or their Instance names.

Do you mean in addition to the original 6?

    Then give the new ones unique Instance names and have the buttons do

multiple Tell targets.


> I have the "Tell Target" stuff in the action of the button... but am having

> trouble creating the instances!!!

No idea what you mean. Are there graphics in the MCs or just commands. 

Is this Flash 3 or Flash 4?
