FLASH: Button Boggle (Bug?)

[Len Harrison]

Strange button behavior:

I have a multiple scene movie which uses many instances of a simulated radio

button. Testing scene in Scene 1 produces the expected behavior. Testing

Scene in Scene 2 does not. The buttons don't work properly. BUT, Test Movie

and they do.


When using Test Scene, the buttons send the movie to the last frame in the

scene instead of the labeled target frame (which, of course, is also in the

same scene). This occurs in the rollover event (no opportunity to test the

release event because rollover drives the movie to the last frame in the

scene). A rollout event which is supposed to send the movie back to the

first frame is ignored. The rollover behavior can be corrected by changing

the goto target from a label to "next frame" but the rollout event still

will not work (though I suspect it might if I changed it to "previous

frame").


Note this only occurs under "Test Scene". If I use "Test Movie" everything

works properly. The .sfa file also behaves as designed. And the same buttons

doing the same things work fine under "Test Scene" in the first scene of the

movie.


Any clues? Known bug? Work around? This piece is beginning to get fairly

long and it makes sense to split it into different scenes. Kind of a drag to

wait through the first part of it to get to the chunk I'm working on though.

Suppose I could kludge a jump for testing purposes but I'd prefer not to.
