Re: FLASH: Sorry but - Tell Target Problem

[Bob Martin]

Hi Simon,


I think (and I'm sure the list will correct me/punish me mercilessly if I'm wrong) the way you currently are calling "/pink" is telling Flash to look for it on the same level.  If call it "../pink" it will look up one level (to level 0 or the main timeline).  My understanding is that referencing in Flash is much the same as HTML file referencing...

>Hi all, I'm having a little bit of a mental block at present re: Tell Target

(yep that old chestnut, sorry for anyone getting bored by this topic, please

bare with me!)


I have a button inside an mc, the mc is placed on the main timeline.


I want the button to play a different mc on the main timeline. The instance

of this mc is labelled pink.


The action I'm using on the button is as follows;


On Release

    Begin Tell target ("/pink")

        Goto and play (1)

    End Tell Target

End on


What am I doing wrong?


Simon
