Hi there… New to ActionScript…but been doing basic timeline Flash for some time. The attached is a very simple study where we have a preloader on frames 1 and 2, and then an ActionScript on frame 3 (Voetsjoeba’s very helpful and cool “gridfade” tutorial on this site under ActionScripts). It works fine but there are two things I can’t sort out: 1. How to continue beyond the AS on frame 3? If I add a new layer and put something simple on it, like a rectangle and let that run across 15 frames, the AS will run over it. In other words the AS isn’t waiting to finish its iterations before moving along the timeline. 2. One goal is that I would like to do a series (like 10 or so) of photos using the gridfade, one after another. But stopping to allow some timeline text fade ins and outs (using timeline). I’ve spent about 4 hours so far, searching and reading here; but I’m at a loss. Appreciate any help that comes along. Russ Taipei rmmcclay
