Okay, Chris -- not too obvious at all, in fact it's an example of

documentation missing from the MM manual.


Let's say you want a button on the main movie level (level 0) to tell a

movie you've loaded on a higher level (say, level 2) to go to frame

"fadein."  You use Tell Target to achieve this, and your button action will

refer to the level of the higher movie, not the name of that movie.  Example:


On Mouse Event (Release)

  Begin Tell Target  _level2

    go to and play  frame label: fadein

   End Tell Target

End Mouse Event
