seems perfectly fine to me, i suggest you check your publish settings (file menu). Try to see if the &quot;omit trace actions&quot; check box is checked, if so, uncheck it.<br />

Found the problem - I was attempting to call the function in the first frame of the _root timeline. Moved it to the second frame and it worked perfectly. Thanks

Seems like a stupid question &nbsp;but.....<br />
<br />
1. I have created a movie clip <br />
2. Inside that movie clip I have defined a function, in this case call it this<br />
<br />
function TestDemo(ImageURL:String):<wbr />Void {<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; trace(ImageURL);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
3. I have created two instances on the _root level, named 'ClipOne' and 'ClipTwo'<br />
4. When I call my function from the _root level like this:<br />
<br />
ClipOne.TestDemo(&quot;credits/<wbr />1.jpg&quot;);<br />
ClipTwo.TestDemo(&quot;credits/<wbr />2.jpg&quot;);<br />
<br />
Nothing seems to happen at all, I don't get the trace result at all.<br />
Is there something stupid I have done, or can I not call a function like this in Studio 8? I did it all the time in Flash 5.....<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
