Re: FLASH: please help, odd tell target and variable behaviour

Branden,


The main movie is 1 frame with a Movie Clip in it. I have seen these used

elsewhere with just 1 frame. I have uploaded a modified file which works,

but which I consider a "Hack". I changed the action in the main timeline

from play, to goto frame 2 and play. This only worked, however, when I added

a Play action in frame 2 of the movie clip. It needed both of these changes,

neither one worked on its own. If you get a chance, download the FLA files

(13k each) and have a look at what I mean.

It only works.
