RE: FLASH: Call the parent timeline from a MC

[Paul Steven]

Hi there


Firstly I agree doing stuff in Lingo seems so much easier :)


Anyway in answer to your question - to refer to the main timeline use the

following


Refer to the main timeline as _Level0


e.g on your button put the following


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("_level0")

            Go to Next Frame

      End Tell Target

End On


Hope that helps


Paul

Subject: FLASH: Call the parent timeline from a MC



Hi,


I posted this question to a Flash Newbies list as well and I must

say, I've never seen the evil in "cross-posting". If anyone can

explain it to me, I'm all ears...


So, this is pretty basic, but I'm really stuck...


Anyone know how I can call the main timeline from a button

embedded in a movie clip? How am I suposed to write the

pathname in a tell target? (In F4)


I want to jump to the next frame in the main timeline when

the user clicks a button in a Movie Clip.


Hey, how do you guys figure all this stuff out? I can't find

any good ActionScript books anywhere. Does everyone learn

Flash from online sources?


I learned a bit about Director/Lingo a while back and found

it a WHOLE lot easier to get things done.


Tia,
