Oh yeah- Good catch Tom- I think I was reverting to the old school way.

Just a quick note: it is a common mistake to capitalize the second letter

ASBroadcaster.initialize(acrobat_mc);
I think you could add a method on your audience object that does
acrobat_mc.addListener( this);
and a method
onTrickCompleted=function(){
applaud();
}
from the acrobat_mc you would call a broadcastMessage(onTrickCompleted);
The best explanation that I found when I was trying to learn it is here:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/asbroadcaster.htm
not sure if this is clear but I have to run out of here to beat the
Atlanta
traffic.
If it's no good I'll follow up when I get home.

Hi group,
AS2 newbie question here...
I've been going round and round in circles trying to work out the best
way of doing this, so maybe someone can help me.
Let's say I have a movieclip on the main timeline of my fla called
acrobat_mc which is an animation of a little man doing a somersault.
I also have a bunch of movieclips of audience members each controlled by
thier own instance of an AudienceMember object. The AudienceMember
object contains a method called applaud().
When the acrobat has finished doing his somersault, I want all the
instances of audienceMember to have their applaud methods triggered.
Now obviously, I could put a whole bunch of commands on the final frame
of my somersault animation such as:
_parent.audienceMember1.applaud();
_parent.audienceMember2.applaud();
_parent.audienceMember3.applaud();
etc...etc...
But what I really want is to just broadcast some message from that frame
on the acrobat's timeline which all the audience members will listen to
and automatically applaud.
How should I be doing this?
Cheers.
Mark.
