Re: FLASH: target w/ expression (bug?)

[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
