MX probz..... target movie clip

Seeing that the tellTarget function has been “deprecated” (I don’t see why), how can I target a movie clip???

I have a button on a frame on the main timeline, which I want to link to a movie clip that has been placed in another frame (still on the main timeline). Ne ideas??

You can use

on(release){
with("/"){
gotoAndPlay(4);
}
}

Sorry… could u be more specific pleez???:slight_smile: I don’t understand how I use that code with my movie clips… ie wheredo I put the instance name???

The (instance movie) clip I want to target is called “marketing”, and it is on frame 10 of the main timeline. The frame IN the movieclip I want to target is 4…

on(release){

with("_root.marketing"){

gotoAndPlay(4);

}

}

Assuming that you have marketing in the main timeline. Hope this helps!

Use the dot syntax and don’t crosspost, please.

Sorry… I didnt see ne rules about that…

Anyway, what is the dot syntax/is there anywhere I can read a guide about it? I have a movieclip in a button which I used to use tell target to got to different frames according to the button states…

PS I WILL be posting this question of mine up, as this is an old topic which people aren’t likely to read.
