FLASH: Interesting tell target bug to watch out for...

[Cummins, Rob]

Hi all,

	Just thought I'd share an interesting bug I've found with you..

well, I don't know if you'd call it  a bug, but anyway:

	When you're editing a movie inside another movie, and you apply a

tell target command to a frame or button, I've noticed that when you use the

window on the right to select the target, Flash 4 always puts a / at the

beginning, meaning to start looking for it at the root level. This obviously

won't work if you're already inside a nested MC... you'l get a target not

found error in the output window. To solve this problem, simply remove the

/, or rewrite the path from the root level, i.e. if you've got an MC call

"middle" inside another called "base", Flash 4 would assign the path 

/middle/target, 

whereas the correct path would be 

/base/middle/target


or


middle/target


Anyway, something to look out for when you're debugging... Hope it helps

someone.
