FLASH: Ordering of Tell Targets

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Hey everyone,


We've come across an anomoly here and are trying to figure out the logic

behind it. We have a main timeline with a movieclip called montage1 and a

label called goTo. We are calling a script that is in a navigation movieclip

where we are placing all our scripts. Now for the interesting part:


When we code it like this:


Begin Tell Target ("/")

     Go to and Stop (/:goTo)

End Tell Target

Begin Tell Target ("/montage1")

     Go to and Stop (/:goTo & "Intro")

End Tell Target


we get an error message saying that it cannot find the target /montage1 BUT

it does go to the label /:goTo


Now, when we code it like this:


Begin Tell Target ("/montage1")

     Go to and Stop (/:goTo & "Intro")

End Tell Target

Begin Tell Target ("/")

     Go to and Stop (/:goTo)

End Tell Target


it is able to see the target /montage1 and goes to the proper label (/:goTo

& "Intro") and it goes to the label /:goTo as well. At the label (in this

case tellMeIntro) there is a key frame in the actionscript layer but there

is NO keyframe in the layer that contains the /montage1 movie clip.


Any thoughts? Branden maybe? =0)


Thanks in advance!
