Hey all, got something I hope you guys can help me with.
I embedded "movie clip A" into "movie clip 1" and it worked fine. Then when I tried to embed "movie clip B" into another part of "movie clip 1" it played fine in the movie editor and i noticed dotted boxes around each button (see attached jpg screenshot). Then when I test the whole movie the tweening on "movie clip B" doesn't work, it looks awful. I compared the two movie clips closely and the only thing that makes them different is the dotted lines around the buttons while they're at rest (both on the main stage and the movie editor). Any clues about why this is happening? Is there something I'm missing? Some rule about multiple embedded movie clips? When I place "movie clip A" on the same frame as "movie clip B" it works, so I know it has to be something wrong with "movie clip B", I just don't know what. I made it the same way I made "movie clip A" and I've tried re-making it from scratch several times with the same result. If someone can explain why the dotted boxes are showing I'm positive it would give me a clue as to how to fix it.
Any leads or ideas would be appreciated. I can email the SWF or FLA file on request, if needed.
cheers,
rex
