Subject: Re: FLASH: target w/ expression (bug?)
From: Robert Bleeker

Hi Jon,

add:

Set variable "return:dir" = dir

before the tell target.

any variable inside the tell target function thinks it is inside the target
MC.
You could also change the "go to and play (dir)" to "go to and play
(../:dir)"

Good luck

Robert
