Kirupa,
I read that tutorial and it all phat!
Except one thing:
How the hell do I attach the button to a stroke???
So when I drag it, it remains attached to the stroke and “streches” it…
Without that the whole effect is lost! Please advise!

i think he means the line that the ball would be connected to. in which case all you need to do is use scale.

Yep.
I think there’s a post somewhere where Sinf gives some good advice.
Btw, you impress me, Jubby. You’re a better flasher by the hour. 😃

Yes, I did mean the line that connects to the ball.
Why can’t Kirupa add it in his tutorial? Like I said, without it the whole point is lost!

Well, as a matter of fact, I wrote that tutorial, thank you very much, but it wasn’t supposed to deal with strokes, or lines or whatever you call it. Give me your mail and I’ll send you a stroked version.

\*\*\*\*ed ! Mine said private, so I never even thought about checking. Ok, Jubby, I let you get away with this for this time, because of all the bad things I’ve said about you for the last few days.

It looks weird… I ment that the ball is like placed on the middle of a line, and when the ball is dragged, then entire line is streched with it… I saw this effect somewhere… I’ll post the link when I find it…

Oh… that’s not what I had understood… But it’s not difficult to do when you have this.
Btw, I think that what you’re refering to it a fla by Sinf that I still haven’t understood, something called magnetic branches.

Beats me. I think the site that uses it is called something like “Flash University” but I don’t remember correctly… Couldn’t find it either…
