Hi guys,

I’m in need of some help with a path - should be quite a simple one, Im just a bit confused.

I have a main.swf and a page.swf loading into it. In the page.swf there is a text scroller as in [this file example](http://www.developertutorials.com/images/articles/text-scolling/scrolling.fla). So the main.swf loads the page.swf with the scroller but the text wont scroll when loaded in the main.swf. Im thinking its a path issue and I think the problem code is on the button…

on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget (“control”) {  
gotoAndPlay(5);  
}  
}  
on (rollOut, dragOut) {  
tellTarget (“control”) {  
gotoAndStop(4);  
}  
}

…is the tellTarget looking for the “control” mc in the main.swf? If so how do I make it look for it in the page.swf?

I maybe on completely the wrong track!

Help!

Thanks :thumb:
