Problem with tell target

1

Tell target doesnt work very well in MX, is there a newer way of telling a movie clip to play?

2

tellTarget was out as of Flash 5 (but still used in Flash 5 for some reason)…

The new dot syntax method is…

targetClipYouWant.gotoAndPlay(frame)

3

cool, so target.NameOfClip.gotoAndPlay(frame)

right?

Think of it as describing the path to a movie clip you want to go to. Just like to go this specific thread the whole relative path is:

So, if you have a movieClip in a movieClip, in another movieClip your would have this:

movieClip1.movieClip2.movieClip3.gotoAndPlay(1);
