Re: FLASH: Question about Load Movie and Tell Target

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Judy,

	 I always make a movie/movie clip diagram when I start a project that

looks in any way complicated. (and sometimes even when it's not

complicated)

	I start at the bottom with a main movie box with small squares inside

that box for each MC placed on the main timeline.

	Next I draw a box on the next highest row for each of those movie clips

and draw a line from the main movie small box to the second row movie

clips.-  I put the movie clip name and the instance name under each box

and any buttons in those movie clips are noted down too.

	I continue this for every movie clip or loaded movie in the movie. I

also note the actions in each mc and any special notes that relate to

those actions. The basic diagram form is similar to the one I used for

my Tell Target tutorial diagram. The URL for that is in my sig file.

	I've found this procedure helps enormously, especially if I am working

on several things at once. Is this the kind of thing you were looking

for?
