[F8AS2] Regarding the proper flash structure tutorial

programming flash

I didn’t see anything posted on this, hopefully these questions aren’t repeats…

So, in the tutorial, it shows how to define globals, import XML, import CSS, and load some external files into movieclips. My questions are:

  1. How do you control the play order of the imported .swfs? For example, if I load my movie border/bg and it has action, then the menu with action then the main image which also has an action, how do I set up the movie clips to play in order?

  2. When I import my bg swf, how do I scale it to 100% but leave the rest of the items unscaled?

  3. Can certain parameters of the DropShadowFilter that gets assigned to “filtersArray” be accessed to alter the distance (as an example) so specific params can be altered for different movie clips?

I will probably add to this. The tutorial was so useful that I am trying to relearn my methodology, but there are some gaps. Thanks for the time.
