Use a unique label for the frame you target, and use that label name in the 

TellTarget command. Alternatively, use a frame number, but you have to 

count cumulatively from the first frame of scene one. Thus if scene one has 

150 frames, then frame #12 of scene two will be designated in TellTarget as 

frame #162. Much easier to use labels, especially if you might be adding or 

deleting frames from the timeline in future edits.
