I'm trying to use a flash movie in Jitter to place animated text on top of a series of mixed videos.

I know Jitter/QT only supports Actionscript 1.0 and Flash 5, so I am coding accordingly in flash. My animation seems to work fine until I place an if statement in the actionscript code. At this point, Jitter just seems to execute whatever is within the "if" statement and nothing else (i.e. everything stops animating).

Has anyone experienced anything like this or know why this might be occurring?

Sounds like you need to provide more information. For example, a 

clear description of what you're trying to accomplish with max 

patcher example and actionscript source code (stripped down to the 

bare essentials to expose the problem). Then someone might be of

has anyone come across ways to convert vrml based 3D models to .obj or .dxf files?

fyi, this site has great links to such models...but i cant do anything with them yet!

I figured it out. It wasn't the "if " statementt per se, it was the condition. I was looking for if(ths._y > Stage.height), and i didn't realize that Flash 5 doesn't recognize the Stage property.

Thanks for the response though!! I may have more questions as I continue with this project.
