Re: FLASH: NEWBIE QUESTION

[Andrew Le Sage]

You need to name the instance of the movie clip and then tell target to that name you do not need variables.

  ...But the TellTarget action doesn't recognize my assigned variable?


  I set up two buttons...


  1.

  On Release:

  Set Variable: "MovieToLoad" = "A"   this is one movieclip: A


  2.

  On Release:

  Set Variable: "MovieToLoad" = "B"   this is the movieclip: B




   I use a TellTarget action to call up the movie that the user has chosen



  MovieToLoad (expression)


  TellTarget:

  MovieToLoad   

  goto and play


  This should play either A or B depending on what button the user picked

  previously...


  But It doesn't.

  Erm...have you just started using Flash? If so, I think you better pick up a

  manual and have a quiet read. If not, this is a very odd question.

  You don't use Load Movie to play a movie clip. In Flash 4, you drag an

  instance of the clip on to the stage and then use the TellTarget action to

  control it (play, stop etc). In Flash 5 you can address objects on the stage

  directly without TellTarget.
