RE: Re: FLASH: Puzzeling Problem

make change location to /:location in all references to it and it will work.

WHen you are inside of the tell target action variables are treated like you

are inside of the target.

Helen,


I agree, one of those SHOULD work... but does not.  Here's the piece of

code:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "n" = Substring (GetProperty("",_name), 7, Length


GetProperty("",_name))-6 )

      Set Property ("../button"&n, Visibility) = false

      Set Variable: "location" = linkname

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

            Go to and Play (location)

      End Tell Target

      Trace (linkname)

      Trace (location)

End On


As I mentioned earlier, the trace's return the correct values... so it

SHOULD work.

Go figure.


Patrick
