A variable inside a telltarget picks up the path of the Tell Target.


>>   Begin Tell Target ("/Stack" &LandPos)

>>        Go to and Stop (mov)

>>   End Tell Target

> Go to and Stop (/:mov)

This is correct, only if the variable is set on the main timeline.

But if the variable is set on the main timeline then /:mov refers to it

from anywhere.


Begin Tell Target ("/Stack3")

     Go to and Stop (mov)

End Tell Target


This refers to both the variable mov set in the Movie clip /Stack3

and then will go the Label mov in the MC.
