Re: FLASH: specifying multiple targets

[Helen Triolo]

Samir,


>From the database in sigfile below, this answer from Jon Williams (with

loop modified for what you want). Looks like a good one to me:


you can target "all" clips in a movie by doing

    Begin Tell Target ("")


Dunno how that works with more complicated nesting though... like if you

need to do it from/to a timeline that isn't the root... (?)


There's always the while loop...


    Set Variable: "count" = 1

    Loop While (count <= 10)

      Begin Tell Target("/p" & count)

           Play

      End Tell Target

    Set Variable "count" = count + 1

    End Loop


one of these approaches should work. I support the second because you'll

keep your hair a lot longer.
