FLASH: Tell Target

[design]

Hi,


I'm having difficulty with one of the functions on a gunnery system; when the gunnery system is engaged, it should command _level0 to stop moving, but this works only before

a movie clip on _level0 kicks in. Also, only one button which sends the command to stop _level0 works at any time. The others, though all in the same .swf and all with the

same ActionScript code, don't.


Here's the structure of what I'm doing:


_level0

            (after a certain period, Movie Clip TunnelTurn starts)


_level10 (NavigationGunnery.swf)

             hitting one of the many buttons on this level sends

                     Tell Target "_level0"

                         Stop

                     End Tell Target


              if a particular button is hit before MC TunnelTurn kicks, then the above works.


              this was also included:

.                   Tell Target "_level0/TunnelTrn"

                         Stop

                     End Tell Target

              it doesn't help.


Also, it's my intention to have _level0 return to Frame 1 at the end of  MCTunnelTurn; instead, MCTunnelTurn loops a few times before Frame 1 is again reached.


In desperation, I've tried odd syntax like "/_level0" and "_level0/" also; they didn't work either.


Tips would be deeply appreciated. You can see the above at http://www.flashtouch.com.(It's undergone a recent redesign, incidentally.)


Thanks, Dominic
