Re: FLASH: Still that problem I mentioned yesterday

[Brian]

Reading over this again, I must make a few comments:

> (like scene 2). Etc.


This is starting to sound like it gets into territory I'm unfamiliar

with...meaning that if I have one frame where the whole MC plays itself out,

something will have to call up the next frame/MC to continue the sequence,

and I'm assuming this is done from the MC? From what I understand, this

involves some actionscripting I've never used. Is this easy to do? I read

all the time about all kinds of head-scratching on this list about this kind

of stuff.

Call me dumb.


I'm quite simply an artist and animator, not a code guru of any kind, nor do

I necessarily want to be. Why would Flash be set up to allow me to do things

the way I have been, if it's not foolproof? Especially when I havem't

encountered the problem before in the over a year I've been working with

Flash!

Maybe I'm just bluntheaded, but it seems to me that if I can drop a sound

file into a keyframe on the main timeline, there ain't no reason why I

should expect it to play at any other time other than where/when I put it.


Nonetheless, I have _apparently_ solved this problem.

Once again: WHY is Flash set up with Scenes if they can cause this

problem?!?

Does 5 address it?



Thanks again, jgl!
