Karl Thanks for your suggestions, they make good sense and don't throw any syntax errors.
However they both cause nothing to appear in mainText. If I trace newCuePoint (in your example) or cueArray[i] I get the full array of cuepoints, so the value is being passed along but isn't making it to mainText.htmlText Looking at the relevant livedocs page I see that asfunction requires string parameters. Could this be the problem? http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001719.html Any other suggestions?
