(X-posted in Flash CS3)

Hi there, I really hope you guys can help me, because this one has got me beat.

I have a series of movies that I have created in Flash 9 using AS2.0

The structure of the files is as follows: Chapter 1 (a relatively empty swf file) calls up a number of external files: a set of variables, a background, a loading animation and then the first real movie - which we will call movie1. This is all done using LoadMovieNum and levels.

Now this same structure continues on, the last file in Chapter 1 (movie1) calls up Chapter 2 (which loads it’s own files and relevant movies), and so on and so on…

Now, this all works fine… Until it gets to Chapter 3. At this point it starts to not display some files (which, since they have been called in previous Chapters are already cached).

I’m at a loss as to understand why it suddenly stops working. From what I can see the code is exactly the same (except for filenames etc).

I have tested the same set of movies in FireFox, Opera, Safari and Netscape (across Mac and PC), without issue.

Is there a known issue in IE6 that would cause this problem?

I have exported these movies for Flash Player 6 (I have tried changing this to 9, but it does not resolve the issue).

Thanks in advance!
Lauren

In fact, you can think of January 1st 2008 as being the SMS Text Olympics. But who will the winners be?Well, according to the bean counters at Airwide at least, the US is expected to hit a staggering 730 million messages sent on the big day while the UK will put in a credible performance of 280 million messages or put another…

Today,  

i’m stuck trying to develop a custom UI element. it’s an accordion that scrolls with some custom graphics. the item in the lists have BOTH text and image that are read in from an XML file. i’ve attached a PNG of what i’m trying to accomplish.

my brain hurts. :hangover: any help would be appreciated. even if it’s just for one part at a time.

i think part of the problem is i’ve been staring at it too damn long… it’s the last bit of the project too! :crazy:

Today,  There has been much debate over the last week as to how the forthcoming Windows Server 2008 release from Microsoft will embrace Linux, specifically with regard to the interoperability between Windows and Linux as evidenced by Release Candidate 1 code.The two sides of the story seem to be either:Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Beta is built upon Xen source code, a project partially funded by Microsoft, so Linux interoperability is a given. Xen will be a core part of Hyper-V, and when you run a Linux Virtual Machine calls to Xen will be translated into Hyper-V hypercalls. Hyper-V is integrated…

Today,  

Hi all, onRollOver I am trying to make my button Flicker on/off but cannot get it too work, the best I can do is get it to go to alpha 60 and then back to 100…

Code:

newBut.onRollOver = function() {
if( cnt < 100){
// Reduce alpha.
// Lower this for more dramatic effect.
this._alpha = 60;
this._alpha = 100;
cnt++;}}


Thanks in advance!

Today,  In an attempt to wean her students off of what she calls ‘white bread for the mind’ one University of Brighton professor has banned her students from using either Google or Wikipedia in their research for the first year of study. Instead, in what many will consider a neo-Luddite move, they get given a selection of some 200 peer-reviewed printed text extracts as research material.The professor of media studies is no newbie, looking to get noticed, either. Tara Babazon has been teaching at university level for no less than 18 years. But an article in The Times suggests that Brabazon…
