I just had a quick look into your file, I saw a lot of error, basically syntax errors like eval() written with a capital E  
too be honest, the file is just too big to take a good look at it

And Steve, Flash is not case sensitive 🙂

Well when the fla is played I get an error stating,

target not found \_level0 position1

(this is linked I believe to the position movieclip) but im not totally sure.

It could also be related to the tell target action in the scene frame label ‘go’ and its actions of:

tellTarget ("/player"&theplayer&“piece”) {  
play ();  
}

hope someone can understand this.

I’m assuming that you’re using Flash 5.0. If you’re using 4.0, dont bother to read this post, it doesn’t apply to you.

tell targets have changed in 5.0 to look different. I’m not sure if you’re going to understand this explination though. Please ask questions if there is something confusing, I’ll try to clarify

\_root[“player”+theplayer+“piece”].play();

this is the new syntax, IF the object that you’re talking to is located on the main timeline. If not, you need to work your way up the OOP string like so

\_root.object1.object2[“player”+theplayer+“piece”].play();

in the 5.0 method we don’t need to use the words tellTarget at all. We just call the name of the object, in relation to where the script is that’s calling it, and then tell it what to do.

In the case of a dynamic name, like you’re doing here, we use brackets to encapsulate the name, and place a dot after, but not before, the bracketed name.

“\_root” just refers to the main timeline.

Like I said… this is probebly a bit confusing for you, coming from Flash 4.0 but if you have any questions please do ask.

thanks for that but still a little confused.  
when i click on the spaces which are called position1-9 i am still getting the error:

Target not found: Target=“0” Base="\_level0.position1"

I believe that the target “0” is the o graphic that is part of the piece movieclip.

can you help?  
I know im being cheeky but if you could look at the fla, fix it and attach it again i would be very grateful.

cheers!🙂

it’s NOT case sensitive???

why didn’t you tell me this before?? ☹
