Alright… I’m a webdesigner, starting to get into flash…This is my first experiment with action script, and I’m having a few problems. I’m using the continuous motion tutorial, and I’ve done everything exactly how the tutorial says, and yet my results are very different. My document size is h-100px, w-634px. When I test the movie after I finish the scripting, the circles move really really slow, and then when I hover over the document, the speed up really fast, disappear, and then never reappear. Can anyone help me? Thanks… ---

Ok, hmmm, lets see here… One problem might be because when you test the movie from inside flash, the \_xmouse and \_ymouse positions are read even outside the actual movie area, this causes funky results. You might also need to change the line that says i = 1+\_root.\_xmouse/5 and make the 5 be a lower or higher number. If none of these work can you post a .fla so we can better understand where you are coming from? ---

Well, I was testing them by doing publish\>html. But anyways, I tried changing those values, and it still wont work…Here’s the .fla. (btw, thanks for helping me!) ---

Hi, for a start your haven’t given hit an instance name. You refer to it as block. So you should give it the instance name block. ---

Aha! That was the problem. Thanks man… Now, how would I config it so that the circles came from the right side, and moved to the left? ---

Gr…I feel really stupid, but I’m also having trouble making the circles appear different sizes… I changed the size, yet when I preview it, they still all appear the same size. Anyways, here’s the new .fla ---

All you have to do to change the size is to scale the seperate clips you drag onto the stage. I don’t know if you were typing when I posted but I posted the file after I messed with it for like 2 minutes. ---

Hehe, yeah…I took the one you uploaded, added some scan lines, resized and resized some things…Now all that’s left are finishing effects within the sides, and other animations im adding. ---
