Tell Target it using its Instance name. You may have to add a Park frame

if it doesn't have one.


Begin Tell target        Target:  /InstanceName

     Go to and Stop      Label: Park

End Tell target

No difff there. But that is the code to go back one step towards the

main timeline.


/  is the code to go back to the main timeline.


/ will work from any movie clip nested or not.

..  or ../ if you prefer only works from MCs placed on the main

timeline, it will not go back to the main timeline from nested MSc (MCs

inside other MCs).
