Hi,
I am encountering a strange problem with the IDE (CS3) drawing of my
graphics on stage... It's happened a couple of times now, but the
problem seems to be that the IDE is getting mixed up with what it is
supposed to be drawing for my symbols.
I have a clip on stage with nested
Hmm,
Teddy bear gave me the answer - well more by accident than anything...
I had two symbols in my library, in different sub-folders, with the
same name... Deleting one of them fixed the problem.

Hi;
First, a bit of a rant. A lister here offered to help me by looking directly
at my code and resolving my problem. That was 10 days ago. I was patient. I
kept in touch with him. He kept saying he'd get to it. He never did. The
result is that I am now 10 days further behind on a project I'm now
Hi
Maybe I'm missing the obvious but perhaps you are hitting a variable naming
problem. Why not try to give each variable a distinct name so that there is
less chance of confusion. For example you have 3 different variable
declarations for myHandInstance2, 2 of which are local and one is
Well gee after that intro, let me jump all over helping you. You should
know people here are volunteering their free time and that's the price
you pay when someone offers to help for free. For free. Free that is.
I saw a LOT of people here trying to help you over the past few weeks,

and above all, play nice.
Well said, Jason! Let me just say that this list is the most valuable asset in
my Flash work by far, and I truly appreciate every response I get from it.
Jason happens to be more than generous in the amount of questions he responds
to and I think many others will
Seems like this should be simple:

Beno,
First, a bit of a rant.
These people have given you so much, and they have to make progress too.
We know it's a struggle but you really must help yourself.
Please advise.
When I started I read Colin Mook's book from start to finish:
sorry - I know I tried that before and it did not work - must have had a
typo... thanks

OK - imagine:
_root.._alpha = 0;
_root.mc1..mc2.onRollOver = function() {
if (findValue(, arrayName) == 1) {
_root.._alpha = 100;
}
}
_root.mc1..mc2.onRollOut = function() {
_root.._alpha=0;
}
Now, I have to repeat this code like 50 times for 50

That person didn't put you in a difficult position, you put yourself in it.
What's funny is, you are relying on others to do your work. You should never
stop just because one person said they will help. Go find the answer or
solution yourself. I think you have received so much help with so much
Jason's suggestion of adding a trace to see if the class is even being
activated was excellent, thank you. No, it is not being activated.
I tried to comment out the mcHandInstance2 as per Mark's suggestion:
public function init():void {
hatAndFace();
eyeball1();
eyeball2();

Beno, Jason mentions trace. This one is really essential.
You can use trace inside any part for code, it is inside methods or
directly in frame code. Add these trace lines to your code and start
playing with them:
public function Main():void
{
trace(Who I am ? I must be: + this);

Beno,
Persuade a library to buy the books.
Without the grounding you will grow into the subject with all sorts of
misunderstanding that will bite you later.
I really didn't feel ready to code until I had fully digested Mook's book.

If so, how can you ever mature?

After reading all of the back and forth on this, I'm reminded of Forgetting
Sarah Marshall.

life.
But I have to agree with Jason. That kind of talk will get you a pool cue
across the jaw at our watering hole.
let me get this straight:
1. you had some talented offshore web contacts in the Ukraine 5 years ago.

3. you get back and agree to a flash ecommerce project, not having

My suggetion to you bueno is to rewrite your code using the
suggestions provided by this list. Keep all variables different. If
your attaching multiple instances , use the for loop to assign their
names. Trace trace trace.

Hi,
Not sure what your findValue function does, but I am guessing you
are looking for the name in an array of names
Anyway, you could create an array of names that you are going to use
and loop throught these to attach your onRollover / onRollout
functionality. To make if work

There is nothing arrogant about pointing out people's errors, especially
when you are truly trying to help them become better people. Indeed, it is
just the opposite. It's good work :)

might be. Otherwise, I might be forced to shoot myself. And then I
