Re: FLASH: tell target

[WebFeat: Gavin Frayne]

Thanks John, but it still doesn't work


My instance names were correct. Let me explain it a bit better. I have a MC

that site next to my button. It has a stop action in the first frame, a stop

action at the end of the rollover sequence, a stop action at the end of the

rollout sequence. If I set up my button actions to start playing at the

appropriate frames according to the event it plays the rollover sequence but

won't play the rollout (even if I move the mouse slowly). It must be some

very samll silly thing that I am doing wrong because as far as I can see, my

logic is right, my instance is named, the button works but the tell target

just doesn't seem to talk to the movie. It must be something that everyone

else takes for granted but that I have missed out by mistake.


Any help would be welcome. In fact, if anyone has some sample .fla with

rollover and rollout, please could you send it to me, I would be most

grateful


Thanks


Gavin
