Re: FLASH:Serious dragging malfunction

[Tai]

not sure if it's my email program that's stuffing this up though it

seems that the code isn't written very well... 


eg. Set Variable: "horizcord" = GetProperty ("/tracker;_x) should be

written as Set Variable: "horizcord" = GetProperty ("/tracker",_x) minor

thing though I'm pretty sure that's the prob


it's the same kinda thing on your set properties enclose the MC name in

""'s


cheers

Tai :)
