Theres no need for using Tell target, I just specified the absolute path to “p” and set the visibility to true again (not gotoAndPlay() :thumb:) ```auto _root.p._visible = true ``` I’d do it in quite another way though, make a textfield instead of the MovieClip “p”, and fill the textfield with new text, (depending on thee location which is clicked) Otherwise you’ll need to create MovieClips like “p” for all the locations… ☹ Anyway, here’s the .fla ---

Just put a dynamic textfield in the main timeline, and give it an instance name. ‘p’ will do, cause you need to remove the other movieclip anyway. Then on the ‘post’-button click, do this: ```auto _root.p.text = 'This is the details for post!'; ``` (Set the dynamic textfield to multiline) ---

You can also do that with another button. Just place a button on the big map, on the school for instance, and give the button these actions: ```auto _root.p.text = "This is the details for school!"; ``` See how I you can put it in the same textfield. (\_root.p) if this is not what you mean I’m such a moron:sure: ---
