FLASH: TellTarget problems

[jaycoover]

Hi,

I'm just learning Flash 4 and hope someone can help me with this one. I've lost enough sleep on it and am tired of waiting for the Flash 4 Bible which I ordered from amazon.com to arrive. I don't know if it could help me anyway. Here's the file:

Minutia/Details:

I'm trying to make a radar interface with navigation buttons on it that are initially invisible and that light up as the radar beam passes over them or upon mouse rollover. I've made a movie clip called HomeTextFade (with an instance name of "fade_home") which is imbedded in an instance of the 'button' button symbol. The HomeTextFade movie clip has a stop action in the first frame and exists in the Up frame of the 'Button' symbol. The graphic symbol Home Text is placed in the Over frame of the button for the rollover. Some of the items on the stage will be invisible, so to see their outline you'll have to click on the right layer.


Problem:

The action in the top layer (invisibleHome) of Scene 1 frame 50 needs to trigger the HomeTextFade (instance name "fade_home") to play. I've tried targetting "_level0\fade_home" and other levels, as well as just "fade_home" and "\fade_home". Nothing seems to work and I'm tired of guessing. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jay Coover
