Hi. I am working within Flash 8, and I have a scroll bar within my flash menu I am creating. The bar instance is named "bar".
I put a blank dynamic text field in arial with the variable "bar._y" to retrieve the y value of the bar when exported.
I added a second frame to all layers so when I move the bar, the number would change according to the y value of the scroll bar.
The thing is, it's not changing, but if I move the bar and then click "Resto
re down" (the button between minimize and close) then the new value of y shows. Same thing if I move the bar again and then maximize the window. The dynamic text does not change within the current window though, so I have to restore down or maximize to get the value of y. While technically I still can continue my work, it is very annoying and wondered if there was some bug within flash 8 something, as I got this whole dynamic text operation from a video tutorial from cartoonsmart.com and copied everything he did several times.
Any help is appreciated.
