flash mx 2004 problems creating transitions in form

[spook007]

I'm putting together a form in Flash MX 2004. I've taken a look at the On Demand tutorial and have attempted to place a hide and show transition on one of my nester screens just as it was explained in the demonstration (

http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/events/online/ondemand/index.html).

I have the following setup for my behaviors.

load = hide screen --> target=this
hide = transition --> type=fly,direction=1,duration=1,easing=none.easeNone
reveal = transition --> type=fly,direction=0,duration=1,easing=non.easeNone

when I test my movie I should only have the main screen display, but instead I have my nested screen flying out and displaying. I don't understand why it's doing this since I have the "load" behavior to hide. I've tried placing these bahaviors in different order as well and the same thing happens. Any suggestion? Thanks!

from all i have seen and heard using behaviors is a nightmare.....and only something that was added on at the last minute for designers when the decision was made to split flash into 2 products.

behaviors are by far the worst feature of 2004 as if you move an object to which a behavior has been attached the code will not automatically update....paths get screwed up etc.

write all your code in as2 keep it in an extenal .as file ( best practise for mx...recommended by macromedia for 2004) and all will be well.

why do they bother to sell you something that is that faulty? Thanks for the tip BillWatson. Can you recommend a site that has tutorials on how to setup external .as files and how to include them in your movie? Thanks!
