Greetings all and everyone 
I just recently ventured into the depths (or heights?) of Flash MX (but I do have a few years of experience with VBScript, PHP and JavaScript)… I think that what I am coming to you with is pretty much a “n00b” problem but I can’t find out why it happens so I’ll just ask nicely-
I made an *.fla (go, me) that has 3 layers- the Actions Layer, an InfoBox Layer and a Background.
There is no animation going on (the background is a shape, just for testing) the Info Field is a Symbol (instance) with a text field and a button.
I do not use a “stop();” command in the Actions-Layer (putting it there stops the flickering, obviously) because I saw that Kirupa Chinnathambi didn’t use one either in his “squirrel finder” script and I wanted to see what’d happen if I omitted the “stop();”, too… my application is going to have to occasionally reload an XML-source and I thought that not stopping the movie might be a good way to have it reload the XML (with a delay, of course)- but I might be wrong there, too
It’s all very simple. But when I test the movie, it flickers.
How come the “Squirrel Finder” doesn’t flicker and my file does? It doesn’t really do anything any different than my file (or does it?)
Thanks in advance-
Marcel
