I have one timeline with two labels; "Sound" & "Mute". Is it possible to get the labels framenumber without setting variables as the movie plays? I need to "get" the framenumber directly when the movie is loaded.
In words if that makes it easier:
When movie is loaded
Get framenumber for label "Sound"
Get framenumber for label "Mute"
Done

I need to create a Flash Quiz with the following:
1.) A page with a question, including a "submit" button, and an Input Text field where the user can type in his answer.
2.) A page with "Correct" and a page with "Incorrect".I have already gotten the pages and graphics created. But for the life of me my Action script is not working. The tutorials I have looked at would help me if I were making the quiz one total page where when you answered the question there would be a comment that came up, but that's not the case.
I have a flash movie, which has two frames and constantly loops. On the first frame I have set my variable, and on the next frame I make it add 1 to that variable. Thing is, the variable is currently being set to "0" on frame one, added one, then set back "0" again as it goes back to the first frame. Is there a way, without adding extra frames to set a variable on Load but then to not set it again?
My actionscript is like this:
Frame 1:
count = 0
Frame 2:
count +=1

I have an MovieClip star with a setup var X which is set to 0 for the thing I'm duplicating, namely star
===Star======
onClipEvent(load){
x=0;
}
If I duplicate the clip a bunch of times so I have Star0....N. Is there a way to set the x value here to the i value of the loop for each object duplicated. Such that star0 will have its x=0, star2 has its x=1 and so on.
setProperty wont do it or _root["star"].x=i;

PHP Code:

trace(get.my_txt); // This does return "nick"};
// Then in another layer after the animation :trace(get.my_txt);
// this returns undefinedmaintextarea.text = get.my_txt + "'s Portfolio";
i have long string values how do i set it up ... like this
var longString:String = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

how I can declare a variable that is retrievable when the browser reloads.
