Greetings,

I am attempting to apply the tellTarget script (using kirupa’s tutorial as a reference) and I get the following output error:

Target not found: Target="/security" Base="\_level0"

I named the movieclip “security” (without the ", of course), and applied the appropriate script to my button but I keep getting that error.

Here is the script for my button:  
on (release) {  
tellTarget ("/security") {  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}

Could anyone explain what this error means because I have no idea what Flash is trying to tell me 🙂 haha

Thank you!
