Re: FLASH: Response to my own question

[Russell E. Unger]

Hi John & Marc...


The dilemma is 95% resolved at this point.


Here's where I am and the confusion will follow, shortly.


I have an MC playing on the timeline.  The MC is set at a STOP frame when I

fade it in.


I have a button on my MAIN MOVIE TIMELINE that does the following:


On (Release)

Begin Tell Target baby1

    Target: baby1

 Go to and Play  Label MovingOn

End Tell Target

End On


This, my friends, works like a dream.  Here's my problem:


On the very last frame of the MC, I have an action that says:

Begin Tell Target

    Target: /

Go To and Play Label Baby2

End Tell Target


Any ideas as to what I'm missing on this?  The MC just stops and then

nothing will move forward.


I've a feeling I'm simply not passing something correctly.


Thanks for the assistance.


Russ
