Re: FLASH: Flash 4: Trouble getting Tell Target to read an expression

[Dave Hollinden]

Hi Judy,


I remember having a similar problem during beta testing.  What I found is

that I was referencing  a variable in the incorrect variable space.  Where

does the variable FrameNumber exist, in the main timeline or in the movie

clip Tut1?  The syntax  /:FrameNumber is for a  variable that exists in the

main timeline.


Hope this helps,


Dave
