Multiple Tell Targets

[Colin Moock]

I recently did a test with Tell Target:


1) I have a button

2) I have a 2 instances of the same movie clip

3) Both instances have the same name: "number"

4) I add an OnClick action, Tell Target, to set the frame of

"../number" to 10.

5) I expected both instances of my clip to be updated by the Tell

Target. But they weren't.

Only the most recently placed movie clip by the name of "number" was

affected by the "Tell Target".


So to get both instances to change, I had to name them separately, and

have two Tell Targets.


jd, is there a reason Flash 3 doesn't communicate the Tell Target

command to all instances of identical names?


Just curious. In case you wondered, I'd prefer it if it did...saves

work.


Thanks,

Colin
