Is there a way to condense these two statements? I think the way they are written- they confuse Flash?

on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget ("/puzzle\_MC") {  
gotoAndPlay(21);  
}  
}  
on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget ("/book\_picture") {  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
}

-Thanks,

Just combine the two tellTargets in one rollOver 🙂

```auto
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget("/puzzle_MC") {
gotoAndPlay(21);
}
tellTarget("/book_picture") {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}

```

btw, telltarget should no longer be used in Flash MX

( I know you know this, Thoriphes) 🙂

well, he’s saying not to use it because there are other alternatives which are much simpler. like instead of going tellTarget ("/whatever") { \_x = 50; } or however you use tellTarget, you can very easily go:

whatever.\_x = 50;

easier eh? =)
