Re: FLASH: Double Click Problems

[Helen Triolo]

Barranger and Cheri,


What an elegant double-click routine that is, after all!  Into Sockman's

flashlist it goes.  


It's strange that Set Variable requires quotes around the variable name,

but compare strings don't, don't you think?  (no other programming

language does this that I can think of.  Actionscript is a powerful

addition to Flash, but a rather quirky one, IMO)


And on an irrelevant note, can I blame the fact that it was Saturday for

my oafish response yesterday?  Sorry 'bout that!  Oh well, live and

learn (and if you want a really memorable lesson, post an idiotic

response to thousands of people--eesh!)


And finally, yes, a chat place would be a great idea (especially for

weekends) -- anyone?


Regards,

Helen
