Ignore this...answered my own question

[Terrantor!!!]

U accessed an undefined property, brah.

I named it, but forgot to name the instance so flash got mad at me

Flash can be pretty irritable, luckily it'll tell you what you did wrong. Only prob is sometimes it takes an IT degree to know what it's telling you, lol.

Indeed!
The one I prefer is when an actionscript variable isn't affected, but when you tell the program to trace it (and really just do that, nothing else to fix the initial problem!), suddenly everything works fine.
I must really vexate my Flash, for it to do stuff that weird to me...

Is there a topic where we sum up all the strange thing a noob will discover through "surprise flash buttsex" ?
Like this random affectation, or the fact calling to a sendandload function don't delay the execution of parent functions, when everything kind of wait, usually.
Or how keyframing with masks tend to mess up covered movieclip dynamic follow-up. ("why the hell do my colors come back to default in this loop ??")
Or the magnificent "NaN", that I still struggle with to this day, which is not null, not undefined, and still appears out of nowhere even with "parseInt" everywhere, lol

That said, flash doesn't kill you when you test a non-existing variable.
It's... kind of really nice, after doing some web javascript.

I love to hate you, Flash, but I don't hate you really, you know, please don't leave me
