Hi Everyone,

I used the tellTarget method to create advanced rollovers on the main stage. They work great.

I created another advanced rollover button, but this one is inside of a movie clip called “project1\_movie”. Project1\_movie only comes up when a button is clicked, using ‘attachMovie’ (if that makes sense). The advanced rollover inside of the movie clip “project1\_movie” will not work. I get the error message:

Target not found: Target="/rollover1" Base="\_level0.project1\_movie"  
Target not found: Target="/rollover1" Base="\_level0.project1\_movie"

I did give the rollover movie clip the instance name “rollover1”.

Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thank you, but that isn’t the problem either. It is a targeting problem. The mc is on level 1 and the error message I get says level 0. Know how I fix that in my code to get it to level 1 instead of level 0?

My code for rollover1:

on (rollOver) {  
tellTarget (“/rollover1/project1\_movie”) {  
gotoAndPlay(“/roll1\_in”);  
}  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
tellTarget (“/rollover1/project1\_movie”) {  
gotoAndPlay(“roll1\_out”);  
}  
}
