Actionscript 3: scolling text failure

• CyBrain

  I have 4 movie clips that each have a couple of scrolling text boxes. If I guide out all but the first one, everything's fine. If I bring in any of the others, the first will work but not the others. When you click to get a new movie clip, I have all the others pushed down out of the movie, set visibility to false and sent them to the bottom of the stack - setChildIndex to 0.

  I'm am now out of ideas. Is there some AS3 quirk that I'm missing. I can't think of any other workarounds for this.

  Here's my movie:

  Go to recipes and check the scrolling text boxes and then click on the next arrow to see the other three.

  probably depends on your code for the scrolling text boxes. Use pastebin to share this code here.

  When I went back to my FLA and checked some linkages, I noticed some were missing. I'm closer to getting it. I got the scrollbox code from gotoAndLearn. I'll report back with an update in a few hours. Thanks.

  Yeah, it was linkage class and bass class errors in my FLA. I fixed that and was good to go.

  I was a little fried when I set that up last night. At least I learned a few tricks about setting child index.
