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[code]test_btn.onPress = function() { instance.sayText("redroy is cool",1,1,1); }[/code]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?
