The first is demonstrated in the FlashBible tutorial Score.

To advance 30 frames in Flash 3 you need 30 Tell targets as in Example 2

(which shows 3) or one short line as in Example 2 if you can use Flash

4.


-----------------------

Example 1) Combine Multiple Tell Targets (Note, you don't need to

separate On() containers:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/movieclip")

            Go to Next Frame

      End Tell Target

      Begin Tell Target ("/movieclip")

            Go to Next Frame

      End Tell Target

      Begin Tell Target ("/movieclip")

            Go to Next Frame

      End Tell Target

End On

------------------------------

Example 2) Using the _currentframe property in Flash 4.


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/movieclip")

            Go to and Stop (_currentframe + 30)

      End Tell Target

End On
