Re: FLASH: call action troubles... suggestions?

[Randy Kato]

R,


It sounds like the Call is working -- you say you check the visibility of the MC

with GetProperty and it shows it as being visible, so I think your problem must

lie elsewhere. Are you sure the MC is on the stage, not covered by anything else,

not set to alpha zero, not scaled down too small to see, etc.? In other words, it

sounds like you've confirmed that your Call and SetProperty are working, so try

looking elsewhere for the problem.
