Helloww!
I just succeeded in finding a solution for a problem that I had… at least I think I succeeded. I have made a function that loads a movie into a movieclip. The functions also assigns values to a few variables, but I want to check if that works like it should. Of course I want to do this with the debugger. But here comes the problem:
If I just push ctrl+enter, I see the movie and when I push a button, the function is called and the movie is loaded so everything seems to work. But when I want to debug, to check on my variables (I go to Control\>debug movie in the menu bar) it doesn’t work anymore. I push the button, but ☹ nothing happens…
Does anyone know what could be the reason for this?
Thanx!

mmh if you publish your movie and everything works whats the big deal ??
ive never been able to use the debugger anyway - you probably have to trace your variables or somethin like that - check the help file that is bundled with MX - pretty thick in size and useful :beam:
