Re: FLASH: Tell Target help

[Billie McConnell]

Hi John,


I always appreciate your quick responses. I tried the code below in the

button that was in the button movie clip, but it did not work. I then again

placed a single button on the main timeline and tried that again and it did

work. I am not sure why the button that in a movieclip does not work. Any

other suggestions?
