morning everyone, problem solved: it really was a matter of the quicktime movie not yet being on the stage when i was trying to execute my code. updateStage vs. go to the frame dont't make any difference now that i'm placing my quicktimg movie somewhere off the stage a bunch of lines of code before i want to scale it. essentially, it's still triggered by on startMovie (via a few self-defined handlers), but this way there's some time for it to get ready before it is scaled.
whoopee! thanks, heike .-) [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo. Thanks!]
