Re: FLASH: Assigning an URL to dynamic text

[Randy Kato]

Vinh,


I'm not sure, and haven't tested it, but the problem might be in the mixing of

F4 and F5 syntax and the way they handle the target paths. Try one or the

other...I'd recommend the F5 way. Here are two versions of your pseudo-code:


F5:


if (command == "loadMessages") {

    testObj.count = 2;

    testObj.message0 = "This is message 1";

    testObj.message1 = "This is message 2";

}



F4:


if (command == "loadMessages") {

    SetVariable("testObj/count", "2");

    SetVariable("testObj/message0", "This is message 1");

    SetVariable("testObj/message1", "This is message 2");

}


HTH,

Randy
