One can imagine I read it twice. While I am not as skilled on this topic, I tally with your conclusions because they create sense. Thanks and goodluck to you.

Hello, I have a question.

I have a webtie whic has three scenes. The first scene is a small movie which transferes into the second scene. Now I have applied code very similar to what you have here, however, my symbols (which are in the second scene) do not move anywhere until the wondow is resized. And when I add for example copyright.x = stage.stageWidth; before the resize function it gives me an 1009 error. I tried adding the code in the second scene, but same thing happens. It keeps telling me that there is a null object. (in addition null object error on the resize funtion as well but that doesn’t really affect the movie clip).

I read something about addChild() or objectContainer. But I have very little experience with AS3 and don’t know how to use those funtions. Please help. I really appreciate it.

Thanx for the tutorial I found it very helpful and I really appriciated having to type eveything out and read through everything I feel like I have grasped this a lot more. However it was not with out a bug. I followed the tut but on my own site similar but a bit differen basically the footer is just a copyright statment. But I can’t position it! I have tried everything.
foot.y = stage.stageHeight – foot.height;
foot.width = stage.stageWidth;
This gets it almost center but then oviously doesn’t move the x position. But if I try foot.x = stage.stageWidth – 14; it just vanishes foot.x = stage.stageWidth + 14; it still vanishes.
do you have any idea why this may be happening?
thanx again great tut apart from this niggle I feel I learned alot.
