I'm fairly new to flash scripting.
this is my site and u can see exactly what i'm talking about
I am editing it great and I'm learning alot about scripting, the only problem I am encountering is accessing the blue main menu movie clip that shoots over to cover the menu name/page that you are viewing.
it is accessed with the 'this.' pointer inside it's movie clip which works great. However, I'd like to access those same movie clips(blue ones that shoot over and cover the menu name) from outside of the menu clip, ie the 'read more' clips on the main page.
I'm just not sure exactly how to do this because copying that code to the 'read more' clip won't work because the this pointer is locally accessed inside the manu clip.
UPDATED:
1) I learned about the trace (this); command and I did that within the movie menu clip but it does not work when I place what trace (this): returns, in other sections of the site.
2) Also I am experiencing issues with underlines, I am lining them up correctly in flash 8 but when i preview test my movie they are longer then they should be and are not matched up.
I tried this on 2 machines to make sure it wasn't a local machine issue.
Thank you all and I appreciate your help alot.
