Phil,

onLoad should be called, the reason I think it wouldn’t is incorrect linkage.
Did you link your movie clip to the class? (Rightclick on the movie in gallery, select “Linkage…”, select “Export for ActionScript” check box and put in the class name in ‘Class’ field. Note, class name must not contain class file extension )

Also, you may try simply placing an instance of that linked movie clip onto the stage, test it and see if trace in onLoad function is called.

Have transcribed your AS2 code exactly into CS3, and when I test my movie - nothing happens. flash.geom.Point is imported in both the movie and .as files. I tried including a trace statment in the onLoad event function, and even that does not execute, as if onLoad simply isn’t being triggered. Any thoughts on what might be failing?

Thanks Dan for that point it’s been corrected.
