Hi, Daniel...


FRAME SCRIPT ON MAIN TMELINE:

Begin Tell Target ("/parent/child")

      Set Variable: "title" = "This is text that should appear in text

field."

End Tell Target


FRAME SCRIPT ON TIMELINE OF MC NAMED PARENT2:

Begin Tell Target ("../parent/child")

      Set Variable: "title" = "This is text that should appear in text

field."

End Tell Target


FRAME SCRIPT ON TIMELNE OF MC NAMED CHILD2:

Begin Tell Target ("../../parent/child")

      Set Variable: "title" = "This is text that should appear in text

field."

End Tell Target


The Child2 MC is nested in the Parent 2 MC, just as the original Child and

Parent MCs. Every ../ makes Flash look one level higher than where the

script is placed.


Hope this helps,
