Re: FLASH: tell target inside tell target

[Ilia Pasymansky]

I see!! Great, thank you Robert., you almost saved me hours of my time and

400 frames of a movie., the thing I am trying to do is to have one MC that

perform as a transition (white box that cover and uncover the screen when

you push fwd or back button), and so instead of creating this tween on every

frame where i should perform the transition I decided to put a global one on

the top of the movie and just call em when I need this transition to

happen,.!

Now, another little problem., if you can assist me will be great!

this code is great, but I want to be able to go to different frames on my

main movie, and so I have to change "whateverframe" to the variable that I

will pass when I push the button and call the monitor frame.. and I am

having dificult time here. My code:


On the button


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("cover")

            Go to and Play (2)

      End Tell Target

      Begin Tell Target ("monitor")

            Set Variable: "myframe" = "transition1"

            Go to and Play (2)

      End Tell Target

End On


On the monitor MC


If (GetProperty ("/mcfirst/cover", _currentframe )>10)

      Begin Tell Target ("/mcfirst")

            Go to and Play (myframe)

      End Tell Target

      Go to and Stop (1)

End If


I am sure the problem is with variable "myframe"

I guess i am setting it in the wrong place

Thanks again for your help and hope to hear from you soon
