Re: FLASH: Sorry but - Tell Target Problem

[Karin Christensen]

Hi Simon,

/pink should work.  Are you certain that pink exists at the time it is

being tell targeted?

If it exists in a new keyframe further down the time line then you

cannot tell target it because it doesn't exist relative to the button

that is targeting it.

I know this, but spent the good part of yesterday trying to figure out

why a tell targeting action would not work.  This was the reason.  I

also discovered that if you have a mc this is masked but do not have

anything in the mask layer (because I was making the first frame a

park frame) it is like the mc under it also does not exist and you

cannot tell target it.
