Topic: Actionscript and functions (Page 1 of 1)

I'm setting up an oddcast character on a site into another flash movie... so I load the character using

instance.loadMovie("http://yaddayadda");

oddcast has a manual with a list of functions that will/should work in controlling the character... for example

instance.sayText("redroy is cool",1,1,1);

sayText() is a built in function for the character. My question is shouldn't that function work by simply placing it on the timeline somwhere? I'm wanting the character to talk when the flash movie is loaded... but it is not; I can only get it working with something like

test_btn.onPress = function()
{
	instance.sayText("redroy is cool",1,1,1);
}

where test_btn is in the flash movie somewhere... am I missing something, should I be calling the function in a different way simply to trigger it on the timeline?

Ok, got it figured... need to run it through a vh_sceneloaded functions.
