RE: FLASH: Flash: I need help with Tell Target

[Samir Ahmed]

Hi Chris,


I have come up with what's wrong with the movie. The tell target action to

play the embedded movie comes too soon in the play. If you add a second

frame and then begin to play (i.e. on frame 2) the movie clip, it will work.

I will send u the worked out sample.

Subject: FLASH: Flash: I need help with Tell Target



Hello everybody,


I've used Flash before, but I always put it down because 

it gets so frustrating that I can't do the simplest things in 

it.  For example, below is the URL to a zip file (only like 

21k) and in it is what is supposed to be a simple movie.


http://www.emailajoke.com/Movie1.zip



On the main timeline there are 3 layers.


Bottom Layer has just a blue border.

Middle layer has an MC with a name of "Engraved_Erwin"

Top Layer has these actions:


Begin Tell Target ("/Engraved_Erwin")

      Go to and Play (2)

End Tell Target

Stop


Now, in "Engraved_Erwin" I have a "Stop" action in 

frame 1 and my motion tween doesn't occur until 

Frame 2... Hence, the reason I call frame 2.

(I also have it labeled as "Play_Me" and tried to go 

to that label, but that didn't work either).


None of this is working and would REALLY appreciate 

if someone can point out what I'm doing wrong here.


Thanks,


Chris TIfer


P.S.

I leave the Output window open and no errors are generated, until 

I try to change the Tell Target to an obviously wrong name.


Hurry, my hairs are dwindling!!!!!!!!!
