Hi!

I've gotten prety good at flash and some real simple ActionScripts. However...

Many of the things I try work fine in TestMovie but then don't work at all when I publish them for HTML.

For instance - When I drag and drop an icon over the correct graphic I want to set its x and y to pop it over the top left corner of the graphic, else leave it where its dropped. This works beautifully in Test Movie but not at all in published HTML.

Is something set wrong in the publish settings? Am I using properties wrong? Am I not reading the right section of the manual?

what happens in the HTML embedded version? I'd suggest you ensure you have the Flash 5 plugin installed first off...

GREAT THANKS!

It never occurred to me that installing Flash wouldn't also install the latest plugin.

(The icon would just stay where it was dropped, not pop to the place I wanted it.)
