Subject:	FLASH: Tell Target > Go to MC frame by label vs number
From:	Randy Smith
Date:	Sat, 24 Jun 2000 00:20:29 +0100

Hi Folks,

Well I've rummaged around for an answer and tried messing with the syntax
but I can't seem to get it right. I'm starting to think it doesn't work this
way and that I'll have to do some math and reference the movie clips frame
by number instead of label.

I have a movie clip with 25 labels for example ...

label_1_1
label_1_2
label_1_3
...
label_5_5

and I'm trying to Go To and Play a label in the movie clip from a variable
that has been concatenated in the main timeline. Leading up to this event
the variables x and y are set to numbers between 1 and 5.

Set Variable: "frameLabelToPlay" = "anim_"& x & "_" & y
Begin Tell Target ("/anim_mc")
Go To and Play( frameLabelToPlay )
End Tell Target

Anyway, my Director thinking doesn't work here. Is there a way to do this?

TIA,
Randy
