Re: Tell Target/On Mouse Over

[John Croteau]

Hi doh,

   I tried to get your page

http://www.yellowknife.com/tri-jin/sondave/flash/proteanintro.htm

In Netscape 3, it is Blank and most probably does not have the MIME set.

In Netscape 4, I get a gif, there is some server side script because

Netscape 3 and Netscape 4 are served up diffwerent pages. 

Most probably, this is part of the reason noone answered your first

post.


Second, how to use MouseOvers and TellTargets were answered on the list

a couple of times recently.


Maybe you (and others) don't understand what TellTargets do. They have 2

uses.


A TellTarget can control a MovieClip, but that MovieClip must already

exist currently, though it can be still or even invisible when you send

it a command. You must give an instance of a MovieClip an instance name

before it can be controlled by a TellTarget.


Second, TellTargets are used to send commands to the main timeline in

other Movies that were loaded using 'Load Movie'. To send a command to

another Movie you use its level in the format _levelx where x is a

number defining the level of the movie. The initial movie is always

level zero so you address it as _level0 (underline LEVEL zero).
