Redundancy A Necessity?
Hello fellow Flash Kitters--
I am working on a project and I have gotten myself confused. What I have is an embedded movie (mainWin.swf) which I load into my root movie. Now, in the mainWin.swf file I load in a text file (for the content). Which works like a champ via a dynamic text box. Ok, when I rework the link to the text file so that it is relative to my _root movie and run the root movie .... the text does not get loaded .. .no matter what I do.
Here is the nutbuster: if I add a SUPER RETARDED/REDUNDANT line to my actionscript (which I will show in a sec) .. the text shows up in my root movie!?
the code:
if (/:textloaded eq "OK"){
gotoAndPlay(4);
daTextBox = /:daTextBox;
}
the line I refer to is "daTextBox = /:daTextBox;" Without this line I get nada...
Now, logically that line means assign the variable daTextBox the value of daTextBox from the text file. Why should I need to do that if I assigned the dynamic text box to BE daTextBox??
If I have managed to confuse the hell out of you, but you wanna help ask me to clarify
Thanks y'all
When Will ActionScript 3.0 Be A Necessity
I looked at the v2 to v3 comparison list and it is shockingly different. It would seem that we need an ActionScript 3 forum and a lot of tutorials soon.
With Player 8.5 will there be good backward compatibilitiy for "removed" expressions? Will v2 survive for a long time side-by-side with v3?

Necessity Of RemoveMovieClip
I have a radio button set up so that when someone clicks it, an attachMovie function is called.
The mc will take it's course and then the person will either choose another radio button (attaching a new movie) or click a button that takes them to a new scene (or layer, however I decide to set it up) with more radio buttons and the process will
start over.
Is there any reason that the removeMovieClip command should be used to unload the clips once they are done playing?
