a great flash 4 book is Flash 4 Creative Web Animation by Peachpit Press.
it's got all that stuff. but why bother, you just have to learn Flash 5
anyway, and uncharacteristically for macromedia, the Flash 5 manual is very
good.

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

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,
