So for example, if the waves were not tweened in a movie clip, but were 

tweened as motion symbols in the main frames of the movie, it might take 

a little longer to load the movie, but once loaded it would not hit the 

processor?  and thus might be smoother?


I've tried reducing the waves to static images, and still the ship is 

jerky at 56k... I am wondering if the motion in movie clips is what is 

creating the drag, because I notice that the play of light on the waves 

[the only movie clip tween now], only starts to play after the scene is 

3/4 done, although it is set to begin at the beginning of the scene...

Subject: FLASH: Tell Target :Movie Clip to Main Timeline


Hello there,


I would like a first level movie clip to send the main movie playback 

head 

to another frame. I'm not able to find the correct syntax to target the 

main 

movie's timeline from within the clip.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason, you can target the main timeline by using .../(whatever frame or

label)

Begin Tell Target

	Target: /

	Go To

		Frame label: "label name"

End Tell Target


Various ways to address the main timeline in a TellTarget:

/ =always the main timeline of the current movie

_level0 =the main timeline of the movie loaded into level 0 (the base 

movie)

.. =The timeline in which the current object is nested; this could be

something other than the main timeline if you have several tiers of nested

objects. This offers a way to backtrack up a heirarchy, e.g. "../../etc."


Dorian Nisinsen has a nice schematic of tellTarget syntax at
