Hi again, The swftools version I use is more recent, it's a development snapshot from 20th Nov. 2007 ago downloaded from http://www.swftools.org/download.html This should explain the error message difference.
As far as I know there are different language versions of ActionScript and it could be that swftools has only support for an older ActionScript version that doesn't have onClipEvent() yet. But then I read [http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001753.html] that onClipEvent() has been around since ActionScript 1.0/Flash Player 5, so it could be something else. Could it be that the compiler optimises away the handler on noticing that it doesn't do anything? ("Warning: freeing zero action...") Vladimir > Thank you for replying.
