Tell Target help!

Hi, I am having extreme difficulty to get a telltarget rollover to work on a button, i tried everything and i’m sure i did everything correctly but it wont work, is there a trick to it? I put the name of the movie into it both with and w/o the “/” sign in front, i made sure the targeted movie is inserted into the main frame, and i even tried naming the layer the same as the movie, but it wont play when i put my mouse over the button! thx in advance for help.

although telltarget executes faster, the guys at MM reccomend using the dot syntax :slight_smile:

tell targetting is deprecated in flash mx try using something like this

_root.movieclipname.onPress=function();
this.gotoAndPlay(frame #/ frame label);

if not try posting your fla so we can have a look at it

Electrongeek showed me this when I was dealing with tellTarget:
[AS]
on(rollOut){
_root.instancename.gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
[/AS]
Works wonders for me!
(-:

did you name the instance of the movie clip in the instance panel?

if so, post your .fla, and I will see if I can find your prob.

and these guys are right, telltarget is depricated. It still works, but it won’t for much longer I suspect.
