Re: FLASH: MC & Command passing...

[Russell E. Unger]

Hi Marc...thanks for the info.  This is working...but I'm hitting a snag.

Not 100% definable on it yet, but I'll get back as to what's going on.


>I'm confused: isn't the MC already moving?  If it's in a loop, OnRelease



The MC moves...but I have a stop command within it so that the end user can

view the information presented to them.


>can TellTarget the mc to go to a frame beyond the loop:

>

>OnRelease

> TellTarget

> Target: /MCinstanceName

> GoTo and Play

> Frame label: "move-on"

> End TellTarget

>End (On)



This worked...something odd is happening where it's almost as if...no, wait.

I've actually solved through this, I think.  (actually going to go try this,

but I feel compelled to let everyone know...as if this is a streaming

email...)


Yeah, got it....I hadn't "deleted" the MC from the score, so it was looping

back around.  Confuse a simp like me.  Go figure.


>>and at the last frame of the MC, I want it to <somehow> pass a command

along

>>to the Main Movie that will have it move forward to the next frame/label,

>If the main timeline is stopped, put a frame action in the mc:

>

>TellTarget

> Target: /

> Play

>End TellTarget



This worked like a Dream, Marc.  Now, let me paraphrase this back to you so

that I can ensure that I actually grasp what that is saying.


The TellTarget described above basically says "Okay, I'm in the MC.  Tell

the MAIN MOVIE (Target: /) to PLAY in it's current frame where it is

stopped."


Correctomundo?  I think so.


Thank you tremendously...Kevin's walked me through some of the TT stuff I've

had trouble with, and he credits you tremendously for a lot of your sharing

of info.


It's a great feeling to leave work at the end of the day and feel like

you've learned something...regardless of the hangover you started the day

with (yesterday).


I think I'll go write a TT Tutorial soon...


Russ
