FLASH: A couple of simple things. I hope.

[Antony Buonomo]

Hi


I'm a relative beginner and would appreciate some help with a couple of

things that should be simple.  Actually, it's annoying because I think

I've managed to do things that are more complicated than the stuff I'm

stuck on.


Anyway.  Two things.


First.  I have made a MC and I want a part of the last frame to be a

button.  I've tried selecting the artwork (an instance of a text symbol)

in the last frame and changing its properties to button, then tried this:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/")

            Play

      End Tell Target

End On


Plus a few variations to try and get the thing to go and play from Frame

2 of the main movie.  What am I doing wrong?


Secondly.  This should be really simple for you guys:


2 symbols, for example, Circle and Rectangle.  I want Rectangle to move

one pixel up every time I click Circle.


I've tried this:


On (Release)

      Set Property ("/rect", Y Position) = GetProperty ("/rect", _y) * 1

End On


But it doesn't work.  An interesting point is that I had to manually

insert the quote marks and the comma in the last set of parentheses, the

Equation Editor did not automatically insert them.  Does this mean

anything? And, what am I doing wrong? I've made sure that the instance

of the rectangle is correctly named.


Thanks for any help.


Antony.
