hey everyone,
i’ve been trying to follow the Kenny Bellows example of loading an external sound swf (http://www.kennybellew.com/tutorial/…ttachsound.htm)
but it hasn’t been working for me.
i followed it exactly!
i did a search on the forum and I couldn’t find anything that worked for me
i made my external sound swf a colorful block, so i can physically see it load into my container file. and it seems to work.
however, when i do
_root.sound.start it won’t work!
i’ve tried
sound.start
_level0.sound.start
emptyClip.sound.start
and none of them have worked
the weird thing is when i use the debugger and check the variables
it shows this:
Variable _level0.firstSound = [object #1, class ‘Sound’] {
id3:[getter/setter] undefined,
duration:[getter/setter] 11468,
position:[getter/setter] 0
}
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.MCSound"
so it does have access to the the sound clip!
i don’t understand why my paths are screwd up!
i think it has something to do with paths, because i’m having a similar problem with buttons.
i created a button called butA with an instance of a text called txtFrame
when i try to do butA.txtFrame.text = “blah” it won’t change the text.
anyone know why my pathing isn’t seeming to work?
