Re: FLASH: Reuse Actions: Call statement

Call is used much like functions and the action is temporarily moved to

the called frame which executes those actions and when done action is

returned to the action following the Call. Images in the called frame

are ignored.

No tutorial yet but the Plug and Play routines all use Call

If you reuse the Call in the same movie it could save bytes.

It is often better structure for Flash to use a Call (but not always).

In a plug and play routine it makes it so even non-programmers or

beginners can use more complicated functions with ease.
