Hi all,
Is there a way to use the Movie Explorer to find all scripts in a Flash file? I haven't been able to do this, I can confirm that it does not find some scripts that are nested inside a movie clip.

I keep getting this error:
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.
And it frustrates me not to be able to find the problem.

Thanks.

Yeah that happened to me to whilst i was porting an AS2 project over to AS3. I narrowed it down to some buttons in a movie clip that had code on them.
There is no easy way round it that i found.

Yes, I am also porting an AS2 project to AS3. Problem is, the project was done by someone else, and there are tons of movie clips and buttons. I had already removed them all, but obviously I missed some :( Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Maybe the item giving the grief is no longer on the timeline and maybe will e cleared by removing any un-used items from the library

Thanks, but I've tried that and it didn't work.
It seems a bit weird for Flash for not being able to show all scripts. I would think it was the main purpose of Movie Explorer.
