FLASH: Tell Target question

[Kevin Jackson]

I'm trying to do a Tell Target to an MC. It will occupy the same 

portion of the stage that a series of buttons (one of which is 

triggering the MC) is located on so I thought I'd have a graphic of 

the stage that would fade out and then pull up the new information. 

Only problem is that if I put the MC after the objects on the stage 

it doesn't show in the properties window and if I put it in the last 

frame of the current timeline the current stage is on top of the 

playing MC. I'm sure I am just missing something basic but it's 

driving me up the wall.


Another question is on what everyone does to do placement of their 

MCs since the first frame is set to be blank. I have been copying the 

final MC stage into the first frame, using that for placement and 

then deleting that but that seems incredibly awkward. Is there a 

better way?


Any advice greatly appreciated. I've already wasted half the day, so 

I think I'm at an impasse.
