Re: FLASH: "With" instead of "tell target"

[Muzak]

If you just want to target a label in another level, you don't really need the 'With' action.


_levelX.LabelName.play();

or

_levelX.gotoAndStop("LabelName");

or

_levelX.gotoAndPlay("LabelName");


if want to target a labl in a movieclip in another level


_levelX.McName.LabelName.play();

or

_levelX.McName.gotoAndStop("LabelName")


and so on...


The 'With' action is more for telling a movieclip or level to do more than one thing at a time.

This would tell a movieclip in a movieclip in level1 to do some stuff.


with ("_level1.mc1.mc2") {

    _alpha=20;

    _width=25;

    _height=10;

}


this would be the same as writing:


_level1.mc1.mc2._alpha=20;

_level1.mc1.mc2._width=25;

_level1.mc1.mc2._height=10;
