Re: FLASH: Frustrated with SIMPLE procedure

[Robert Bleeker]

On (Release)

      Set Variable: "image" = random(4)+1

      Begin Tell Target ("/rt_image")

            Go to and Stop (/:image)

      End Tell Target

End On


When you use tell target within that statement you have to pretend you are

actually inside the MC of that target! So the variable "image" has to be

read from a level up. Thats why the "/:image"
