LOL! Yeah, it works because you applied the action to an object, instead of just having the action floating in space. It’s like saying “go over there” instead of saying “Hey you! Yeah you! YOU go over there”.
Does that make sense? that’s the whole basis of flash really:
I had it the actionscript applied to the MC the whole time,… The only thing I added was the ‘This’. I didn’t think it would make a difference putting ‘This’ since the script was already applied to the MC! :ub:
