Timelines/Frames/Layer/Action Script Where to go

[tliu]

Who knows how I can decide which layer, which frame to put action script ?

What is the difference between movie, movie script and movie clips? Thanks

Movie/movieclip are the same. A movie clip (MC) is a symbol or object in Flash. A MC can hold an animation across lots of frames. Movie script is just ActionScript that goes "on" a movie clip symbol. Like if you select a movie clip on stage, you can see in the actionscript box that you can actually add actionscript to it just like when you select a frame how you can add action script to it.

As for placing actionscript where you want, almost ALL coding can be done in frames ONLY. Placing actionscript on a movie clip really is just to help some people visualize what they're doing a little better.
