either
1. Flash is screwed up
or
2. I don't understand

[ForkClock]

This isn't really about flash but:

Whenever I try to send someone an swf. they say that they can't open it in player. What is with this?

Duplicated MC's isnt that complicated but it gets messed up quickly

I think COTM means I get to be super modded or admined.

Jeez, I'm embarrased to ask this, cuz its a horribly noob question. I need a good technique for making grass. For my characters to walk on. Just plain, simple grass. All i have now is a green>darkgreen gradient.

Hm, I haven done much things with grass and my computers broke right now so I can't check out what you can do on flash.

Check if the layers are ordered correctly and if there is a misplaced picture. I cant really tell from an swf, id need to see a picture of the frames.

[PentagramClock]

In one frame I have three movieclips with music in them, and one the first frame of each of them i have stop();. The instance names are music1, music2, and music3. I also have three buttons, that have the following codes:

Code Select Expand

on(release){_root.music1.Play();}

Code Select Expand

on(release){_root.music2.Play();}

Code Select Expand

on(release){_root.music3.Play();}

Why doesn't it work?

well, from what I see here, Play() ins't suposed to have a capital P.
If thats not the problem, try getting rid of _root. and have nothing in front of it or try put _parent.

happens to me too
but there is a button that may help, it looks like its got three or four lines in it, its the auto format button, it may help you correct stuff.  Also, if your using normal mode, swith to expert mode, it gives more freedom.
