Re: FLASH: Tell Target and movie problem

[Dorian Nisinson]

	It sounds like your problem is trying to combine scenes and tell

targets to movie clips. A tell target  to a movie clip as you describe

will not work between scenes. I would combine all your scenes into one

scene and separate the areas that used to be scenes with labels and stop

actions. Then your tell targets will work as you want. Or you could make

each scene a movie clip and place them all in the main scene.
