Hi. This is my first post to this forum, and my first real attempt to follow a Flash tutorial.
I’m using FlashMX Professional 2004 (v7.2) on Mac, and I’m trying to follow the MX2004 tutorial at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/snow.htm
I’m a Web developer, so I’m not completely new to using Macromedia/Adobe tools. I followed all of the steps a number of times, (even on a different machine), and each time I finish and run the file, I get an error saying that the script is causing Flash Player to run slowly. And then I have to abort.
I can’t run the debugging tool, because it also shows this error.
I’m doing exactly what is laid out in the tutorial, and I’ve tried this at least six times over the course of the last 24 hours.
On one of the attempts, I left the parentheses out of:
} [COLOR=#003366]while[/COLOR] (k != snowflakes);
And when I ran this, the movie played with a syntax error and just one snowflake falling.
But when I fixed it, and put the parentheses in, I got the freeze-up again.
Has the tutorial been updated recently? Is it possible that it’s no longer correct?
