Hi guys, this is my first post and I’m very new to Flash. I tried to do the tutorial, I thought I followed it to the T and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Nothing happens when I run it. I don’t quite understand what I’m supposed to do here:

> [color=black]Create a new layer, give it the name border and select the rectangle tool. Now, roughly draw a border around the image. The width, height and position will be set through ActionScipt, so you can place it anywhere and give it any size you want.[/color]

How do I draw the border using a rectangle? Do I draw a rectangle over my image, do I draw multiple rectangles around my image, I DON’T UNDERSTAND!

Sorry, I’ve spent the past 2 hours trying to do this and nothing works. I’m also curious, why didn’t Voetsjoeba release the .fla?

I also need to try out some other masking transitions, but I am baffled. I’ve tried to modify the fade britney.fla to fit a shorter and wider image, but I can’t get the circles to move any further.

I’m sorry if this post is kind of random, I’m just going looney because I can’t figure any of this stuff out.

Thanks in advance! Great site BTW!
