Wait a second… are you brainy brainy??? Or just brainy.

22

you should track as menu =)

23

oh… thanks brainy… that’s a relief! :beam: (is it brainy as in, brainy:q: )

and sen-
I did come across the ‘track as menu’ thingie, but i never came to know what’s it for :slight_smile:

24

see

did it back in Flash 5 but the same concept applies to MX (and is now easier by just setting a variable).

as you can tell, other button methods are envoked in other buttons which are not the “current” button. Otherwise they are ignored - ie if you press on a button and drag on another button, normally it has no reaction but track as menu allows that reaction hense the ability for setups like these to click and drag to draw instead of click click click etc :slight_smile:

25

ooh… thanks!!
I was trying to do it that way but i couldn’t… you’re a life-saver!

i’ll modify that once i get home… only thing is, does that still make it a valid entry for the contest? :slight_smile:

26

of course its still valid! You didnt learn Flash through osmoses did you? :wink:

27

thanks! :beam:

but the thing is, i did learn flash through osmoses :-\

Ahmed… problem solved. The comp just needed to be restarted. :slight_smile:
ok, no… problem not solved… it only lets me do it once… maybe has something to do with my computer settings… lol whatever… its still cool. :slight_smile:

36

My plug-in needed to be updated. :slight_smile: got it sorted…

37

good it works now jubba… :slight_smile:

and sen-
that’s amazing!! did you do it by hand? :!:

38

yeah… well after you updated it. I waited for that :wink:

very nicely done by the way. I dont think I said that yet. Thought it, just not said it :beam:

39

thanks :slight_smile:

I actually spotted a little bug… gotta work on that :sleep:

40

Ok… so this is my final modification to the entry :slight_smile:

you have to press ‘save’ now once youre done drawing. There was a bug in saving the imae when the same footer is being displayed more than a single time (like in this thread). The save button luckily fixes it :beam:

have fun! :beam:
