First off, I would like to say that your tutorials have been like gold to me, here at this website.  Thank you.


Now, I'm following the Bits Animation tutorial (found here: http://tutorials.flashmymind.c…..animation/) and I came across a weird error that I cannot debug:

     Location: Symbol 'myNumberMC'

     1026: Constructor functions must be instance methods.

I tried looking into why it would have this error, but to no avail.  I'm more accustomed to C++ debugging at this point.  I'm assuming that it has to do with what type of symbol it is, or whether it even is one, but I'm pretty sure I have it as a Movie symbol.

P.S. – Usin CS4.

P.P.S. – Also pretty sure I followed directions straight through correctly.


EDIT: I re-did the tutorial today and had it functionally working (though the width of the numbers had to be adjusted to fit the 300×300 screen).  I believe that the linkage step is what errored up my project in the previous attempt.  It's funky to do on CS4.

Hey,

Hmm…have you linkaged the “myNumberMC” to a class “BitNumber” (step #8)


Edit: Oh you have figured it out, good :)

Yeh, the first time I tried completing the walkthrough, the linkage step produced some warning box stating that it couldn't be done, and after completing all the other steps, it turned out to be impossible to go back and properly edit the symbol's linkage for some reason…it would never save after hitting 'Edit' or 'OK'.  Goofy, hope it doesn't happen anymore.
