Subject: Re: FLASH: Can you ? : Tell Target > Go To mc frame > via variable

Hi Alex,

If you've followed this recent thread that I started late Friday, Victor
Villen set me straight. It appears you and I were trying to do something
similar.

"DON'T USE TELL TARGET, GO TO EXPRESSION DOES NOT WORK WITH TELL TARGET"

The following should work. Don't forget the colon.

Set Variable: "my_variable" = "/mc_animation:" & 10
Go To and Stop ( my_variable )

In the above case "10" could be substituted with a target label in the movie
clip that you concatenate together in another variable. In my case ...

frameLabelToPlay="/mc_pitcher:curveball_"&x&"_"&y
Go To and Play(frameLabelToPlay)

In this case I've also changed the variable names to reflect why I was doing
this. (Sometimes it helps to know why we do what we do.) Its a baseball game
and the user chooses different pitches which are animated in the movie clip.
X and Y are grid locations in the strike zone.

HTH,
Randy
