Begin Tell Target

	Target: /

	Go To

		Frame label: "label name"

End Tell Target


Various ways to address the main timeline in a TellTarget:

/ =always the main timeline of the current movie

_level0 =the main timeline of the movie loaded into level 0 (the base movie)

.. =The timeline in which the current object is nested; this could be

something other than the main timeline if you have several tiers of nested

objects. This offers a way to backtrack up a heirarchy, e.g. "../../etc."


Dorian Nisinsen has a nice schematic of tellTarget syntax at
