RE: FLASH: Frame Action "Tell Target"

[Dave Hollinden]

Hi John,


I have understood this differently, and don't associate it with picking up

paths.  As I see it, any Actions inside Begin and End TellTarget tags are

executed from the Target timeline and thus need to be referenced from the

variable scope of the target.  So I could also use:


Set Variable: "Ten" = 10

Begin Tell Target ("/main")

      Go to and Stop (/:Ten)

End Tell Target


or,


Set Variable: "/main:Ten" = 10

Begin Tell Target ("/main")

      Go to and Stop (Ten)

End Tell Target


Are we saying the same thing with different words?

This movie will not go to frame Ten (10) in the movie clip Main.


Set Variable: "Ten" = 10

Begin Tell Target ("/main")

      Go to and Stop (Ten)

End Tell Target



This will go to frame 10 in main because the variable Ten picks up the

path of /main from the Tell Target:


Begin Tell Target ("/main")

     Set Variable: "Ten" = 10

     Go to and Stop (Ten)

End Tell Target
