RE: FLASH: shaking an instance

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi again Ben,


Did you see my other post yet? Anyway, it's the same problem. Make sure

you've got the field with the incrementing code set to expression and don't

use any quotes:


Set Variable: "count" = count + 1 //this field *must* be set as an

expression not a string (= *not* abc)


Also leave out quotes when testing a variables value, otherwise Flash

interprets it as a string, not a variable:


If (count > 2)
