Lesson 1: Introducing ActionScript

** Page 9 - only script on page**

The fourth line from the bottom of the script reads:

myTextBox.text = "The total cost of your transaction is " + totalTax;

It should read:

myTextBox.text = "The total cost of your transaction is " + totalCost;

** This same error occurs in a script on Page 11 - Semicolons subheading - fifth line down **

On page 15, we recommend flashlite.net as a resource for more information on Flash MX. Unfortunately, flashlite.net is no longer in business.


Lesson 2: Using Event Handlers

** Page 65 - Step 12 **

The script reads (notice third line):

onClipEvent(unload){
_root.time = 0;
_root.timeAmount = _root.time;
_root.timer._rotation = 0;
_root.message.text = "All Clear";
_root.mouseXposition.text = "";
_root.mouseYposition.text = "";
_root.lights.gotoAndStop ("Off");
}

It should read:

onClipEvent(unload){
_root.time = 0;
_root.timeAmount.text = _root.time;
_root.timer._rotation = 0;
_root.message.text = "All Clear";
_root.mouseXposition.text = "";
_root.mouseYposition.text = "";
_root.lights.gotoAndStop ("Off");
}

Lesson 3: Targets

** Page 95 - Step 2 **

You are instructed to select the button with the minus sign over it in order to attach a script to it. This button is part of a group, so it must first be ungrouped before Steps 2 and 3 of this exercise can be performed.
