Right I'm not the worlds best when it comes to action script so when I start using mx 2004 and they have f***ed about with the way you use it I get really f***ed off!!! Am I missing something.
Is there expert mode and f**k wit mode???
- rasko40
no, thats why its called 'professional'
I prefer fuckwit mode myself.
- legspin0
So I can't fuckwit mode then cause I'm using professional???
If so I'm fucked!!!

You get used to it, stick at it. Obviously that's no help if you have anything urgent.
- legspin0
Shits teeth!!!
I only just started to get used to action script at a very basic level as well. Does it ever end? I mean for fucks sake...

Does anyone know how to telltarget a movie clip on the root and go to frame 2 or whatever in that movie clip? Can it be done?
Thanks

on(release) { _root.mymovieclip.gotoAndPlay(2)
}??
- dstlb0
Yep, what Kuz said.
You need to start using the Actionscript Dictionary / Help feature. Might also be a good idea to invest a few quid in...

Can anyone explain WHY the fuck they have made it harder to use?
WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!

Learning AS 2.0 should pay off in the long-run as it is now so fully-featured that there should only be tweaks in the future. Still, it is very annoying for just the basics. You could try the behaviors... they may do everything you need.
As for tell targetting:
1. name movie clip instance on stage (ex: myClip)
2._root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(2);or some such...

yeah why cant they add a method that moves or tweens items based on a single command. i am now using a similar method i found and it works great, but why cant they implement this as a basic set of commands into the program? ex:
movieclip.moveTo(location, time, method, etc, etc);
movieclip.alphaTo(alpha, time, method, etc, etc);you need to script many lines and use physics and calculus and shit just to do some basic actionscript tween. it does suck....

cheers mitee_ at least someone agrees with me.
God I'm in a bad mood. See other thread "whats this" thats just made me worse so I'm off to get pissed...
- chimchim0
not quite physics and calc to simply move stuff..
this is a simple thing you can all use
- blaw0
thanks chimchim.
i'm a bit slow on my AS as well.
- chimchim0
that should be very simple to use....it can accept as many things (properties) as you want to change...or as few...
but you aren't locked into specifics...like some functions are only for moving..and some are only for scaling..etc.or fading..
this is a simple..all-encompassing function.
- ********0
yeah i use something similar but more powerful.

**sorry for the long URL. my point is why cant MM just add these basic functions that we all use and make them as simple as telling flash which clip to do what to?

i'm with you..
I just came one to ask about the same problem. I recently got MX 04 and it's the professional version. I'm not the best when it comes to action scripts and for the last few days i've been trying to figure out how to get out of the damm expert mode. I guess there is no rookie mode. I HATE IT!!! now i gotta re-install version 6 so i can finish this damm project that's due tomorrow.. CRAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP!!!
- unfittoprint0
believe me, it's best to start writing the code in 'expert mode'.
Even for a beginer actionscripter it's the best. You can't call the most of the basic OOP methods just from clicking a select list.
You can cry for a couple of weeks but the pain will soon go away.

Hi again,
Just got back to work form long weekend watching international field hockey and watching England throw it away against France.
Just realised what I was doing Thursday. I want to call upon a movieclip in the root from within a movieclip. I can't do it! Can anyone help? I have this but it wont work:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("extractor");
_root.energy mc.go toAndPlay(2)}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("extract out");
}Where you roll over a btn and it activates the movieclip on the root. I can't get to grips with mx 2004 and I know I wont get time at work to look into it! Any advice would be great.
