Re: FLASH: "Tell Target" BUG?

[Bill-Fox]

Note: A timeline must currently be in the Flash Player in order to be

targeted. A timeline of a movie clip is present in the Player when the

playback head is positioned in the frame that the movie clip exists. For

example: if there is a movie clip placed on the timeline in frames 1 - 20,

it can be targeted while the movie is playing or stopped at any frame

between 1 and 20. Once the movie reaches frame 21 the movie clip is no

longer in the Player and cannot be targeted.

Subject: FLASH: "Tell Target" BUG?



Dear List


I always try to work HARD before bothering people with simple questions, but

right know < enough is enough. I'm not willing to "try and error" anymore...


I've a MC sitting on the main timeline with the instance name "handleItems".

>From within another MC (Instance name: Master) < sitting on the main

timeline too < I placed a button (Instance name: menutask) which has the

following script attached:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("../handleItems")

            Play

      End Tell Target

End On


...which should tell "handleItems" to play, but it doesn't works!



Any tip, trick, workaround, help or solution appreciated very much.



Thanks in advance


-Dominik
