I’m reading Colin Moocks Actionscript for flash MX book and upon reading functions he instructs to create a symbol named ballSymbol, than put an instance on the stage (frame 1 maintimeline) and call it ball. Than on frame 1 on the main timeline put the following actionscript:
_global.mainTimeline = this;
function moveBall() {
mainTimeline.ball._x += 10;
mainTimeline.ball._y += 10;
};
moveBall();
The ball is supposed to move diagonally. But my problem is when I test the movie, nothing happens. No movement, nothing…
What am I missing?
