RE: FLASH: FINALLY! tell target

[Kyron]

I am not totally sure but I think these are the reasons.  I just got my tell

target thingy to work two days ago.  I know what you mean finally!


The reason you can't insert a keyframe in the middle of a tween is because

of a number of things.  First, I don't think an instance really exist in

frames that are tweened.  The only thing that is really there are the

mathematical calculations that flash computes to render the instance from

the previous keyframe.  Also since only one instance can be animated per

level, by putting another instance on that same level you won't be able to

animate it.


If you really want to put a key frame in there, just remove the tween and

insert the keyframe, then put the tweens back in.  You can only change an

instance on a keyframe.  Again remove the tween and make all the changes you

want.


Now label the new keyframe and I think another button can call that same

keyframe.


I am definatly not the expert, but I will send you an fla that I think will

do what you want.  I hope you don't think I am being presumptious.  Its just

that I think we are at the same point in our flash development.

Subject: FLASH: FINALLY! tell target



ok, call me dumb.  I finally figured out how to call a movie clip with an

instance and tell target.  it is not spelled out btw in any of the material

I have read. (including all of the printed material from MM) but flash

central helped alot when I got close.  now.   this all still seems very

arbitrary to me.   I have a looping movie clip that is tweened from

beginning to end.  the first click calls the 2nd frame which I named as an

instance. (the last frame loops to frame 2 etc)  why can I not create a

keyframe in the middle of the movie and assign it a different instance name

and therefore have another button start at that point in the movie?  AND

why can I not change the instance ...period?  when I highlighted the button

to try and change the dialogue box after the first success,

modify/instance was not an option nor was it until I backed out of all of

my changes since the first success?  I mean, do you only get one chance at

that dialogue?

weird.


thank gosh for multiple undos.  maybe we could ask macromedia for a history

palete so we can see exactly what we did right?


oh yeah-that tutorial about the tell target with the x and y coordinates -

dont even mention it to me.  I havent seen reverse in any of my pull

downs...

needless to say, Im slow
