Re: FLASH: LOST IN MOVIELAND!!!

[Meshach Weber]

Thank you for the response!!!

Maybe this will make sense:

I have one swf and within that main timeline I have a MC (instance name:

menu boxes), within that I have two MC's one referring to the other

(instance name: text mv). I have the one referring to the other like so:


tell target ../text mv


It doesn't work. Should it be:


Tell target ../menu boxes/text mv

??

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!
