Glad you got it fixed. I'm late to the discussion, so didn't
contribute anything yet--but I will now :-)
Do yourself a favor now. One of the real advantages of AS3 is
eliminating timeline code--you have to do that eventually to take
advantage of AS3's OOP capabilities.
Make a backup of your .fla before you do this, in case something goes wrong.
In the same folder where your .fla file is, create an ActionScript
file called Main.as. Inside it, use this:
package
{
public class Main extends Sprite
{
//functions go here
}
}
Now cut and paste all your code from the timeline and put it after the
line //functions go here. You can overwrite that line--just keep your
functions in between the inner set of curly brackets.
In the .fla file, in the Properties window, set your document class to
Main. Remember, ActionScript is case sensitive.
It should compile and run the same as before, but you will have taken
a good first step towards utilizing AS3's power.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
