The call function allows you to reuse a script. By putting a script into

labeled frame you can call that script.


For example:

1. Make a movie with three key frames in the maintime.

2. In frame one put a stop action.

3. In frame 2 label the frame 'action1'

   put an action in the frame 2 such as

   trace("hello")

4. In frame 3 label the frame 'action2'

   put an action in the frame 3 such as

   trace("goodbye")

5. In frame 1 make 2 buttons.


6. Assign an action to the button one such as:


on press

  call("action1")

end


7. Assign a different action to button two such as:

on press

  call("action2")

end



On clicking each button a call is sent to your script in frames labeled

'action1' and 'action2' which are then executed. This is a very basic

example for a good working example check out the calculator that come with

Flash 4 samples under the help menu.
