Re: FLASH: inconsistent call actions

[Nathan Dicken]

Karin,


One thing I noticed is that you mentioned that your call action is in the

same frame as your button.  Once the playhead hits this frame so that your

button is available, your script intended for the call action is activated

at that time.  You could try placing the script that you're using for the

call action in a frame of it's own that the playhead will never touch.

Then, when your button "calls" the script it will be bringing in that

script and using it.   Your code could look like the following with the

"test" frame located in the score mc...


Call ("/score:test")


Hope that helps...
