I would really like to create a drop down select list and populate it with attachMovie(). I'm going around and around... please help me...
This attachMovie() works when I target the root level but once I try to attach it to a dynamic text field I don't see anything happen... this action is on the first frame of a single frame movie and I am trying to target anything on the main stage...
--------------------------this works
function postIt(thisNote,txtDisplayNotePreview,kid,txtDisplayNoteView){
_root.attachMovie("notePreview", thisNote, kid);
_root[thisNote]._x=0;
_root[thisNote]._y=10*kid;
_root[thisNote].txtDisplayNotePreview = txtDisplayNotePreview;
_root[thisNote].txtDisplayNoteView = txtDisplayNoteView;
}
--------------------------this doesn't
function postIt(thisNote,txtDisplayNotePreview,kid,txtDisplayNoteView){
_root.selectList.attachMovie("notePreview", thisNote, kid);
_root.selectList[thisNote]._x=0;
_root.selectList[thisNote]._y=10*kid;
_root.selectList[thisNote].txtDisplayNotePreview = txtDisplayNotePreview;
_root.selectList[thisNote].txtDisplayNoteView = txtDisplayNoteView;
}
--------------------------How can I troubleshoot this? Catch the vigorous horse of your mind!
