hey you guys  
well let me get straight to the problem  
i finaly had the time to dowload the flashmx 2004 demo  
and i tried some basic stuff on it im just wondering why this script doesnt work thanks for the help :hr:  
[AS]  
onEnterFrame = function(){  
dot = attachMovie(“dot”,“dot”+i,i);  
dot.\_x=Math.random()\*550;  
dot.\_y=Math.random()\*400;  
i++;  
};  
[/AS]  
when i preview it just comes up as flickering dots its really wierd and it only happens when it i set it to flash 7 player.
