Re: FLASH: tell target inside tell target

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Ilia,



You have to create an empty MC (maybe call it "monitor") on the main

timeline that loops two frames and in one of the frames it has an action:


if ( getProperty("/cover", _currentframe)>#)

    tell target "/"

        go to and stop "whateverframe"

    end tell

end if 


The _currentframe will only return a frame number so t you can not use a

label name.


You might want to reset the cover movie so it doesn't keep setting the main

timeline and possibly a pause routine in the monitor MC.
