Re: FLASH: get and set property problems in level 1 movie

[Karin Christensen]

Hi again John,


Okay, I used this scripting since the frame labeled turn is in the MC

and the button is on the timeline of the MC.  This does not work.  So

I added a text field like you said and when I look at the variables in

the test movie mode I get this:


Movie Clip:  Target=""

Variable _level0/tube:DropName = "Not yet"

Variable _level0/tube:1 = ""


What does this tell me?  I used level0 since I am working on it as a

level0 movie.

I'm confused.
