>> Right. My problem is limited time in front of my computer. Long story, but finally actually bought a computer (went broke in the Dominican Republic, etc.). >>But it's at a friend's office (I live on a boat and haven't been able to afford a wind >generator yet). So I maximize my time online when I have the chance. >>Can't very well print out the manual. But a book I can take and read.

Wow. Let me quote that last line again: >> I'll be out of this hole as soon as I develop two Flash sites, then I can cook with gas. You sure you're not just some long time list guru messing with us? If not, I do feel bad for your situation, but you need to be realistic. You can't rely on this list to teach you everything, especially when you keep posting questions every few minutes without doing research and trying things in-between. We're here to help, but we're not here to help someone crowd source their project. Last time, we recommended you make use of the trace() function liberally, which is basic Flash skills 101, and again, someone had to remind you to use that again today, which you then did, and you found out some things as to why your code wasn't working. Sorry, I'm just saying please be more considerate of the good members of this list who are trying to help you, you need to do your part as well. You asked 2 questions Saturday, then four questions today - one of them was for a project you're not even working on. I guess I'm still a bit annoyed from the last time you peppered the list with all your code and questions and people raised a stink then. Personally, I don't like to help people who aren't trying all that hard to help themselves. >>"I copied a bunch of code from flashandmath.com. The above is my own addition. It doesn't do anything. What I'd like it to do is, when the movie enters frame 10, >>activate the code I copied from flashandmath. If I pull out and replace my above-quoted line of code in the init with the same, everything works. But I'd like to >>delay this action for so many frames." That's a perfect example where, you're trying to copy work others have done, without understanding the underlying principles. Really, you need some more basic help understanding how Flash works first.
