It should rever to the this scope by default.
I'm not sure where Ketan was going with where this rating - to me it
sounded like it was done in flex but wanted to be used in flash or
vice versa. Now i can see Ketan wants it done soley in Flash - which
by looking at the code seems to hold up ok. I've not cut and pasted to
test it, but i think it sounds like something isn't either named
correctly inside the FLA that or like you said maybe the change events
getting ignored.
1) Make sure your linkage names are correct
2) Debug your change to make sure it infact is getting a fired (via trace)
3) Make sure you as jess points out, import your mx.framework
correctly (to cheat, I've often simply dragged a label onto stage - it
seems to have the smallest payload in terms of the v2 framework and it
brings with it generally the core ingredients) - or was it button..one
of the two anyway.
