FLASH: RE: tell target. my head broke

[jculloa]

If you can just use: / as a target to tell timeline to go to a certain label, How to tell timeline to go to other scene from buttons in  a movie clip??

for some reason my option to tell it to go t another scene is always ghosted out.


thanks, 


Juan

Using ../ in tell target is bad news, full stop, the same way it is in HTML.

What you want to do is address all your target locations from the root,

which is done by putting a slash before the target... so if something is in

movie clip A, in level 0, the target would be:


        _level0/B/A/ 


        If you wanted it to get the main timeline to play, you could just

use: / as the target.


        Sad but true. It's all based on Unix filesystems... seems the Flash

team knew a thing or two about Unix...hmm, funny that.


Hope this helped
