Hi Simon,


If an instance of a movie clip or button is available on the current

keyframe, flash lists that target in the window. If you haven't named your

clip, haven't put in a keyframe, or are not currently on a frame where the

clip is placed, it won't show up. Although not having the clip available in

the parameters window is a good hint that you may have improperly named or

placed the clip, there may be occasions when you want to call it without it

being available yet (for example, if you're using a 'goto frame' before the

tell target, the clip may be available on the frame called but not the one

where you're writing the action.) I hope that's clear and helps :)
