FLASH: Im totally baffled=)

[Jonny Danger]

Hey there, I have just become totally baffled just when i thought i was 

really getting the hang of flash.  I have a project that is split up over 

multiple scenes.  One one scene, named 'Main Map' there is a map that when 

you click on various cities it takes you to a new scene.   I have another 

scene, called 'Indy Action Sequence' where i am making a movie that creates 

a path of trips that i have taken.


Ok, my problem is that if 'Main Map' is the first scene in the list, 

everything works perfectly, but if i put any other scene in front of it all 

the actionscript in the main map stop working, or better yet they half work.


For example: every button that is supposed to move the map around in a 

certain direction moves the map north, and none of the mouse outs work.


I think I must not be targeting them correctly or maybe my targeting is 

assuming it is on the main timeline, i really dont know...


Here is a copy of my code

for the button that moves the map north


On (Roll Over)

      Begin Tell Target ("/")

            Set Variable: "countdown" = "24"

            Loop While ((countdown > 0) and (currentframe <> 1))

                  Set Variable: "countdown" = countdown - 1

            End Loop

            Go to and Play (2)

      End Tell Target

End On

On (Roll Out)

      Begin Tell Target ("/")

            Go to and Play (1)

      End Tell Target

End On


here is the code for frame 2

Comment: North Button

If (GetProperty ("/Map_USA", _y) < minYvalue)

      Set Property ("/Map_USA", Y Position) = GetProperty ("/Map_USA", _y) + 

moveFast

      Set Property ("/Buttons_City", Y Position) = GetProperty 

("/Buttons_City", _y) + moveFast

End If


and frame 3

Go to and Play (Main Map, 2)


Please please please help me=)

thanks Jonny
