Re: FLASH: Can MC go to frame within MC?

[John Croteau]

Hi J,


It looks OK. The only difference is I would probably Tell Target with a

Target of /home instead of ../home but both should work in this case.

The MC that is controlled must exist in the frame that the MC with the

button is in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For Examople MC-A is the MC to be controlled by MC-B that has a button

in it. Both MCs are in their own layers.


If MC-B is in frame 5 on the main timeline and the timeline is at frame

5, then if  MC-A is in a keyframe in frame 6 then it won't work.


If MC-B is in frame 5 on the main timeline and the timeline is at frame

6, then if  MC-A is in a keyframe in frame 6 then it will work.


If MC-B is in frame 5 on the main timeline and the timeline is at frame

5, then if  MC-A is in a keyframe in frame 4 and there is a blank

keyframe (or keyframe without MC-A) in frame 5 then it will not work.


If MC-B is in frame 5 on the main timeline and the timeline is at frame

5 then if  MC-A is in a keyframe in frame 4 and there is an empty frame

in frame 5 then it will work.
