I was able to have someone test the sample code below and it worked fine
for them. I had their files sent to me but couldn't open the FLA. I'm
using MX2004 and I assume they have 8 or higher. I tested using the sample
that was sent and still had the same errors.
Has anyone heard of this before? Assuming this affects Flash 7 MX2004?
Thanks.
