There was one in there, but it was tiny file size, so I copied one from a later version of Netscape over the top and it seems to have fixed the problem! Thanks!!

I'm having problems with bloody Netscape. The Flash MX swf loads and works perfectly fine in all IE browsers we've tested and most Netscapes, but it won't load in Netscape 4.08. I'm trying to tell them to just forget about 4.08 but they won't. Any ideas on how to go about fixing this? Ta, Emma

you could try giving them all names you can loop through (e.g. button1, button2 etc) and then with script loop through and put them all back to frame 1 then put only the one you want to frame 2.

Hey Bill, Can you do that using sortOn() as well? It's what I was using and I'm having to add 0's and take them off when I put in and pull out of the array. I've got it all sorted now, but was wondering if you could do that with sort on?

Hey, I had this problem as well, and think it is because it is sorting it alphabetically as opposed to numerically. It thinks it is a string. I fixed it by storing all my single digit numbers in the array with a leading 0. So, you would have [09,02,22,17,43] which should sort fine into...

Yeah, I pretty much figured that was the only way. I ended up setting a variable and using setInterval to check for it. Do you know how much stress a setInterval will put on memory or anything else if it is continually running? Ta

I'm trying to get javascript to call a function within my actionscript, but I can't seem to find anything to tell me how. I can set and get variables and change frames etc but I can't seem to make the javascript call an actual function. Any ideas? Ta Emma

Righto. I knew that... Thanks anyways. A bit slow at the end of a long day! I will give the checkboxes a shot.

My radio buttons won't turn off! I dragged them into a movie clip and set the initial state to false. I can turn them on by clicking them alright, but can't turn them off. There's gotta be something I'm missing right? I tried writing an on(release) {} for them, but it appears it only gets...

A modal dialog - kind of a hash and not that pretty, but so far it seems to work. I created a new button which was the size of my stage that is basically a white rectangle. I added this to a new movieclip called dialog and set it's alpha=0 and enabled=false. I added some textboxes and...

Yeah, that's all I could bloody think of too, but theres heaps of stuff to disable so it's either disable them all one by one or rewrite the whole bloody thing to be inside one movie clip. Maybe I will just stick it out with trying to make the javascript work for now... I'm nearly there...

Hi Bill, The files you posted do almost exactly what I want to do, however is there an easy way of making the dialog modal? I want to stop users from clicking on stuff in the background while the message is showing. Ta, Emma

I have a movie which displays simple error messages in a dynamic text field when you do something wrong. I want to be able to hide the messages after say 8 seconds but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it. Any ideas?

I have a flash movie that needs to load a whole heap of data and I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. The flash is embedded in an ASP page, and the data is coming from either a database or an xml file, we haven't decided which yet. Can someone help me out and let me know the best way to...

I have windows 2000 server installed, but can't get socks working. I'm connected through a hub to a dynalink dsl router. There's another machine (Windows XP) connected which has icq and everything else working fine. How can I make socks work on the Windows 2000 computer as well?

Wouldn't this mean that each movieClip would have to already be loaded into the library before runtime though? Or can I add them after the movie is already running? Sorry - I'm a little confused be it all...

is there a way to load movies into the library using actionscript? I have a whole heap of .swf names in an xml file which I need to load into my movie. I don't really want to use loadMovie, and was wondering if there was a way to import these into the library. Thanks Em

no luck with _currentframe. It's doing some really wierd things :( I think it's because I'm using loadmovie which I read somewhere doesn't actually load the movie till all the rest of the code in the block is executed. Does anyone know anything about this? Any other ideas?

I'm not sure if the animations will be the same length or not. I guess they could be... I'm sure there is an easy way to do this - maybe I'm just confusing things a little too much... I'll have a look at using _currentFrame. Thanks.

Thanks for the idea oldnewbie, but I would rather not put anything in the end of the animation as I am loading them through an XML (which holds the name of the swf to load) and want to have as much flexibility to change the questions in the quiz as possible. Having to put a variable in the end...
