RE: FLASH: Re: tell targeting

[Eric Smollin]

Here's an example: 


You have three MC's on the main timeline, each in their own layer. You are

in one MC and want to jump out another MC, but you want the MC you are

currently in to be blank so the next MC doesn't display on top of the old

one. To accomplish this, each MC has an empty keyframe labeled "park." The

button inside each MC that triggers the tell target action, should first

send the current clip to the parked frame, hence the go to and stop action

followed by the tell target. 


I probably wasn't very clear before, but the parked frame is not on the main

timeline, it should exist in each MC. You are sending the current MC to the

parked frame and then executing the tell target so that the next MC doesn't

display over the previous one.


Hope that helped
