HI, I am a total beginner with flash- I am following a tutorial at www.flashninjaclan.com/tutorialpage.php?ID=56

I have created a rectangle for the paddle- converted it to a movie clip and then- when I try and apply an action to one of my paddles the actions box comes up with a message saying "current selection cannot have actions applied to it" WHY???

it lets me put in code if a layer is selected rather than an object.

any help gratefully recieved.

thanks

Create a new layer. Select the keyframe in frame 1. Open the Actions window. Type away.

Actionscript 3 will not allow code to be attached to objects, it can only be written to a frame space.

If you want to follow that tutorial, then open the publish settings window and reset your movie to use Actionscript 2.

However, applying code directly to objects is always a bad idea. The tutorial you are following is either very bad or very old. You will be much better served by looking at tutorials for CS3 that use actionscript 3.
