Re: FLASH: "Tell Target" BUG?

[Karin Christensen]

The usual problem is that the mc "handleitems" does not exist to be

tell targeted.  If is further down the timeline from the playhead then

you cannot telltarget it.  Both of the mc's need to exist at the same

time.  If that isn't it then sometimes it can be a simple problem of

misspelling instance names.  I know that has happened to me.
